Kiefer Sutherland is keen to find a role in his hit show 24 for Robin Williams after finding the funnyman is a big fan of the drama, femalefirst.co.uk reports.

Williams recently begged for a part in 24 during a chat with TV Guide magazine, stating, “I would play a technical adviser. Anything,” and Sutherland is thrilled the comic is watching.

He says, “It would be an honour (to have him on the show). You’re talking about an Academy Award-winning actor with no lack of energy, which is what we require.

“Robin could be an innocent computer analyst who stumbles onto something cryptic ... and becomes a target. (My character) Jack Bauer, the government and the bad guys are all looking for this guy, who is scared to death and running for his life.”

Williams has proved himself a master of tense TV dramas — he won acclaim last year as a deranged character on the 200th episode of Law & Order: SVU.
