The son of two notable Canadian actors, Donald Sutherland and Shirely Douglas, Kiefer and his twin sister were born in Saint Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London.
Many of us 30-something film freaks will remember our first introduction to Kiefer Sutherland with the movie The Lost Boys, where he played the rather tasty, teenage fantasy vampire David, alongside Jason Patric and Corey Haim. He went on to star in a number of Hollywood hits, including Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, A Few Good Men, Flatliners, Young Guns, The Vanishing and Stand by Me.
In 2001 Sutherland was reintroduced to us via the terrorist-fighting detective Jack Bauer, in the critically acclaimed television series 24, where he proceeded to have ‘the worst day of his life’. Following four nominations for ‘Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series’, in 2006 he won the award. He was also nominated for Best actor in a Drama Television Series in the 2007 Golden Globe Awards.
Following his engagement to Julia Roberts in 1991, which ended when she ran away with his friend Jason Patric just four days before the ceremony, Sutherland has been in and out of a number of relationships. He has one daughter, three stepchildren and one step grandchild.
