Actor Kiefer Sutherland Reflects on Relationship with Late Father Donald Sutherland

Kiefer Sutherland reflects on his relationship with his late father, Donald Sutherland, revealing that they only truly connected after Kiefer left home at 15. Despite a distant early relationship, Kiefer acknowledges that sharing the same surname as his father likely aided his acting career, although there were instances where this connection did not help him.

He paused his acting career briefly before landing the role of Jack Bauer in '24,' which revitalized his professional life.
