KIEFER SUTHERLAND - BIOGRAPHY |
 |
|||
| Except for those puffier cheeks, Kiefer Sutherland could pass for his dad any day. Sutherland's dad is, of course, Donald Sutherland, and his mother is actress Shirley Douglas. Born in London while his father was working in British films and TV, Sutherland moved to Toronto with his mother at age ten, then morosely plodded his way through a series of boarding schools. Happiest while attending theatre classes, Sutherland made his earliest stage appearance in the 1977 production Throne of Strow. His first film was Max Dugan Returns (1983), in which he shared a scene with dad Donald. In 1984, the 18-year-old he won a Genie Award (the Canadian equivalent of the Oscar) for his portrayal of Depression-era adolescent Donald Campbell in The Bay Boy. After making his American TV bow on a 1985 episode of Amazing Stories, Sutherland's career went into full drive, and hasn't stopped since. In the tradition of his versatile father, he has played anything and everything, from bullies to druggies to zealots to gunslingers to button-down conservatives. Previously married to actress Camilla Kath, Sutherland found himself a reluctant tabloid target in 1990, when he announced his engagement to his Flatliners co-star Julia Roberts; when she abruptly and without explanation broke off the engagement, Sutherland was subjected to yet another unwelcome round of banner headlines. Preferring to keep a low public profile and to let his work speak for him, Kiefer Sutherland added directing to his artistic accomplishments with the superb 1993 death-row drama The Last Light. |
