Kiefer Sutherland Biography
Kiefer Sutherland is the star of the TV series 24. The show, with Sutherland as counter-terrorism expert Jack Bauer, broke convention by having each hour-long episode represent an hour in Bauer's day. Sutherland's success on television came after a respectable 15 years in the movies: Sutherland's memorable turn as a bully in Stand By Me (1986, with River Phoenix) led to a string of successful ensemble movies, including The Lost Boys (1987), Young Guns (1988), and Flatliners (1990, co-starring his one-time fianceé Julia Roberts). Although he has carried the lead in several movies and played a variety of roles, he has a reputation for playing creeps and jerks, such as in A Few Good Men (1992, with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson), Freeway (1996, opposite Reese Witherspoon), Dark City (1998) and Phone Booth (2002, starring Colin Farrell). Kiefer is the son of movie star Donald Sutherland.
