Donald Sutherland Still Looks Supercool

Not many can pull off the pinstriped-suit-with-Santa-Claus-beard look.

Sutherland's new star is right next to the star for his son Kiefer Sutherland.  Somehow Kiefer got a star first, in 2008, possibly as a publicity stunt for the show 24.

In the end, he got a memento to take home, too:
