August 18, 2008: "Kiefer Sutherland Shocked By Scary "Finding Nemo""
Kiefer Sutherland was so scared when the shark appeared in Disney movie 'Finding Nemo' that he jumped and spilled his popcorn. The actor admits he couldn't believe how scary the children's film was. Kiefer, who stars as action hero Jack Bauer in hit US TV show '24', said: "If I go to see a horror movie, you wouldn't hear giggles, you would hear the gasps. I kind of suspend my disbelief and really open up which makes me a prime target for fear. "I remember I was with my daughter at 'Finding Nemo', which is a children's cartoon, and suddenly this shark comes up trying to eat the fish. It just startled me and my popcorn went flying. My daughter was like, 'Oh, Dad, that's not even the scary part yet!' " *** June 9, 2008: "Kiefer Sutherland To Wed" Kiefer Sutherland is set to wed for a third time.

Kiefer Sutherland biography (bio): Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland is an Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning television and film actor, well known for his role of Jack Bauer on the television series 24. Sutherland also owns a recording studio and record label, called Ironworks. Early life: Sutherland was born in London, England, the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, both of whom are successful Canadian actors. He has Scottish ancestry from both parents and is the grandson of Canadian statesman Tommy Douglas. Sutherland and his twin sister, Rachel, were born in London (in Saint Mary's Hospital, Paddington) while his parents were working there. As a result, through the jus soli and the jus sanguinis, he holds both a Canadian passport and a British passport with certificate of Right to Abode. His family moved to Los Angeles, California, shortly afterwards, but his parents eventually divorced in 1970. In 1975, Sutherland moved with his mother to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he attended high school at St. Andrew's College, Martingrove Collegiate Institute, Harbord Collegiate Institute and Malvern Collegiate Institute. He also spent a semester at Regina Mundi College in London, Ontario, Canada and attended St. Clair Junior High School in East York, Ontario. He speaks fluent English and French. Career: As of 2006, Sutherland has appeared in over fifty films, most notably The Lost Boys, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, A Few Good Men, Flatliners, Young Guns, The Vanishing, The Three Musketeers, Stand by Me, Dark City, and A Time To Kill as well as The Sentinel. Since 2001, Sutherland is most widely associated with the role of Jack Bauer, on the critically acclaimed television series 24. After being nominated four times for the "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series" Primetime Emmy Award, Sutherland won the award in 2006 for his role in 24's fifth season. His father, Donald, was also an Emmy winner; he won an Emmy award for his role in Citizen X in 1996. In the opening skit of the 2006 Primetime Emmy Awards, Sutherland made an appearance as his 24 character, Jack Bauer. He was also nominated for Best actor in a Drama Television Series in the 2007 Golden Globe Awards for 24. Sutherland constantly emphasizes that the show is merely "entertainment." Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan visited the set of 24 in February 2007 to urge the show's makers to reduce the number of torture scenes and Sutherland accepted an invitation from the U.S. military to tell West Point cadets it is wrong to torture prisoners. In 2005, Sutherland was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto, where both of his parents have also been inducted. Sutherland was also the first Inside the Actors Studio guest to be the child of a former guest; his father, Donald, appeared on the show in 1998. Sutherland was featured on the cover of the April 2006 edition of Rolling Stone, in an article entitled "Alone in the Dark with Kiefer Sutherland". The article opened up with Sutherland revealing his interest to be killed off in 24. However, he had also stated, "Don't get me wrong. I love what I do." It also revealed that he devotes 10 months a year working on 24. He has starred in Japanese commercials for Calorie Mate, performing a parody of his Jack Bauer character. Sutherland also provides voiceovers for the current ad campaign for the Ford Motor Company of Canada. These advertisements are thematically of the comedy genre. In mid-2006, he voiced the Apple Computer advertisement announcing the inclusion of Intel chips in their Macintosh computer line. He also voices the introduction to NHL games on the Versus network in the U.S. Recently, he has starred in Brazilian TV commercials for Citroën C4 sedan. Sutherland will executive produce the two-hour pilot of Phenomenon. Maggie Murphy will also be an executive producer for the show. The Sci Fi Channel ordered a script to be written. The show revolves around a mysterious young female prodigy who leads a crack team of experts in investigating odd and supernatural anomalies of nature. His character Jack Bauer has commandeered many of the Chuck Norris jokes because of his apparent invincibility. Being continually shot and inexaustability has made him a subject of mockery. Examples of co - opted Chuch Norris Facts are "Every night before the boogy man goes to bed he checks his closet for Chuch Norris, every night Chuch Norris checks for Jack Bauer!" "Once Jack Bauer was hit by a bus, there were no survivors!" Personal life: Sutherland was engaged to Julia Roberts in 1991, although their relationship ended just five days before their planned marriage when she ran away with his friend Jason Patric. Several episodes of 24 have allegedly been rewritten to work around minor injuries Sutherland sustained when partying. In an interview with the London Daily Telegraph, Sutherland said, "I can't deny half the stuff that's been written about me has been true. I've done some stupid things. You have to take responsibility, go, 'That was embarrassing,' and move forward as best you can." During the autumn of 2001, Sutherland unintentionally interrupted the filming of the premiere episode of an online series titled The Lonely Island. In the episode "White Power", the main characters develop an addiction to teeth whitener, and eventually mug an old woman to facilitate their addiction. Sutherland, driving by at the time, believed the mugging was real and jumped out of his car to intervene. A small portion of Sutherland's appearance is displayed after the credits, though the portion is only Kiefer stopping his car and looking at them. This anecdote was recounted by Andy Samberg. True to his grandfather's legacy, Sutherland is an active member of the Canadian New Democratic Party, and has appeared from time to time in NDP advertisements. He has one daughter, Sarah Jude, born in 1988, along with a stepdaughter, Michelle Kath, from his first marriage to Camelia Kath, widow of Chicago guitarist/singer Terry Kath. Sutherland's marriage to Camelia lasted from September 12, 1987 - 1990. In 2006, Sutherland became a grandfather when Michelle gave birth to a son, Hamish. Michelle, born in 1976, is just ten years younger than Sutherland. On June 29, 1996, he married Kelly Winn. They divorced in 2004. He has two stepsons from this marriage, named Timothy Daily and Julian Daily. Kiefer is currently single and dating (2007). Sutherland is a well-known collector of many guitars, a majority of which are Gibson Les Pauls. Recently, the Gibson Custom shop has released a Kiefer Sutherland signature guitar, the KS-336, as part of their 'Inspired By' series. His favorite band is Queen and he discussed his love for Queen, from when he was young, until now as an adult, on television. Sutherland was arrested early September 25, 2007 on misdemeanor drunk driving charges (his second time since another incident in 2004) after failing a field sobriety test. He was pulled over at around 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles, where he tested over the state's legal blood alcohol limit and later released on $25,000 bail. On October 9th, 2007 Kiefer pled no contest to the DUI charge and agreed to complete the 48 day jail sentence in December 2007, including Christmas. He has opted to spend 18 days in jail during 24's winter break in late December and early January. Once production wraps on the show's seventh season, Sutherland will return to the pen for an additional 30 days. In fact, Sutherland reportedly opted for more jail time rather than see the production of 24 disrupted |
