Kiefer Sutherland Bio:
Keifer's first film role was in the movie "Max Dugan Returns" in 1983. His first major role was in the Canadian drama "The Bay Boy" (1984), which earned Sutherland a Genie Award nomination for best actor.

Kiefer plays ice hockey on a celebrity team. He traveled the rodeo circuit in the late 1990's and won rodeos in Phoenix and Albuquerque. He earned first place in the US Team Roping Championships. When starting up on the rodeo circuit he decided to buy all the things needed. The horses, the bulls/cows, the tractors, the 900 acre ranch in Montana, then sold it once he was finished.

MEMORABLE KIEFER SUTHERLAND'S QUOTES

"I’ve always traveled with a picture of my daughter from 1989, her kindergarten school picture, that has ‘I love you, Daddy’ written on it. She’s always made fun of me because I never changed that picture out. It’s like my resistance to her getting older. It was the first thing she’d ever written to me and it means the world to me."
"When we shoot 24, there are so many things I have to worry about, from the script to technical things to my performance, that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season, which is like making 12 movies, so there are going to be mistakes along the way, but I am incredibly surprised by how many things work well as a result of working at that pace."
"I think the most attractive thing (in a woman) is a sense of humour. If someone can make you laugh, you've gotten a lot out of the way."
"The most significant piece of advice my father gave me early on about acting was, don't get caught acting. Really believe in what you're doing and then commit to it. Even if it feels uncomfortable, even if you feel that you're gonna look like an ass. It's all acting, but find the truth in a moment as opposed to just pretending you have and rather than trying to act your way out of it."
(on playing the role of Jack Bauer in 24): "It's funny because I'm strongly opposed to the death penalty, and I don't believe in 'acceptable losses'. It's complicated for me to play this character, because, unlike a film, I don't know the end but I want a situation to arise within the show where he's actually confronted with a lot of the things he's done."
(on his 24 character, Jack Bauer): "One thing that moved me to tears was a news clip of three firemen carrying equipment up the stairs of the World Trade Center. They had a look of determination on their faces that was one of the most honorable things I'd ever seen. That unquestioning dedication to duty is something I would love to instill in this character."
