Freddie Prinze Jr. says Kiefer Sutherland is ''the most unprofessional'' person he's ever worked with and claims he was forced to remove his shoes while working alongside the shorter star on '24' in 2010.

The 38-year-old actor, who has two children, Charlotte, four, and Rocky, 22-months, with wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, claims the '24' star, 47, made him want to quit acting completely after he co-starred on the TV series in 2010.

Speaking about his decision to take a hiatus from Hollywood, Freddie told ABC News while promoting his new Disney XD series 'Star Wars Rebels' at Comic-Con in San Diego, California: ''I did '24' ... it was terrible. I hated every moment of it. I just wanted to quit the business after that.

So, I just sort of stopped. ''Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that.''

The 'She's All That' star also poked fun at Kiefer's height, adding: ''I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE, for Christ's sake ... but, at least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do [at '24'].

Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4.''
