The son of actors Shirley Douglas and Donald Sutherland, Kiefer became a Hollywood heartthrob in the '80s with flashy roles in a number of hip flicks such as The Lost Boys, Young Guns and Flatliners, during which he struck up a very public romance with costar Julia Roberts, who more-or-less dumped him at the altar. After a brief hiatus from acting, Sutherland returned to the biz, taking on a variety of roles — villains and heroes, leads and character parts. His star returned to its former brightness as the star and producer of 24, a taut action series in which he managed to save the world while continuing to look sexy. In 2006, he won two Emmys for his work on the show: one for Outstanding Lead Actor and one as producer of Outstanding Drama Series.Kiefer Sutherland Fast Facts:
  • Named after Warren Kiefer, the screenwriter/director of the film Castle of the Living Dead, which starred his father Donald Sutherland.
  • Was once engaged to Julia Roberts, whom he met when they costarred in 1990's Flatliners. Their high-profile wedding was cancelled at the last minute.
  • Formed the production company Still Water Films (named for a river at his Montana ranch) in 1986.
  • Spent nearly two years competing in rodeo events during a break from acting in the 1990s; won rodeos in Phoenix and Albuquerque.
  • Remained close with his former stepdaughter Michelle Kath (from his marriage to Camelia Kath) and gave her away at her 2003 wedding. 
  • Won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor in a Television Series (Drama) for 24 in 2004. Nominated for the same award in 2003 and 2005.
