A Tribute To Kiefer Sutherland!

Jazmine Hiller December 9, 2021 Editorials, Lists Comments Off on A Tribute To Kiefer Sutherland!

Kiefer Sutherland is a British-born Canadian (high five to my fellow Canadians!) actor, producer, director, and singer. His parents, Shirley Douglas and Donald Sutherland, moved to California shortly after his birth. I feel like Kiefer Sutherland is one of those actors you don’t purposely watch, but when you watch a movie and he happens to be in it, you end up enjoying his performance. I did the same thing with Kevin Costner. I just happened to watch three movies in a row with him, and was like, “Alright, I’m down.”

Check out Kiefer Sutherland’s song, “Shirley Jean.”

Fun Facts

Twin sister, Rachel Sutherland, is a television post-production supervisor in Toronto, Ontario.

Even though he physically appears onscreen for less than three minutes in Phone Booth (2002), he received second billing behind Colin Farrell.

When he was eight, he moved to Canada where he spent the next eight years of his life.

He left Canada to do commercials in New York. In 1983, he landed a jeans advertisement and got enough money to buy a car and go to California.

He is a huge fan of the rock band, Queen.

He was awarded a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto, Ontario in 2005.

When his character, Jack Bauer, got a new tattoo for Season 3 of 24, instead of having to go though tedious makeup for each scene in which the tattoo would show, Kiefer had a real tattoo inked onto his arm.
