He had discussed the possibility of playing Jack Bauer's father in 24 with his son, Kiefer. But once they both discovered the father would attempt to kill the son, they decided it was a bad idea. (edit) Sutherland's distinctive voice has been used in many radio and television commercials, including those for Volvo automobile (edit) In July 2006, he picked up an Emmy nomination for his performance in the TV movie "Human Trafficking". (edit) In the Oliver Stone film, JFK, Sutherland played a mysterious Washington intelligence officer who spoke of links to the military-industrial complex in relation to Kennedy's assassination. (edit) He played the part of fellow countryman, Canadian Norman Bethune, a physician, humanitarian and hero in China with whom he identified, in two separate biographical films in 1977 and 1990. Through the 1980s and 1990s his films were perhaps less noteworthy than those in the 1970s, exceptions being the South African apartheid drama A Dry White Season (1989) alongside Marlon Brando and Susan Sarandon, the fire fighter thriller Backdraft (1991) alongside Kurt Russell and De Niro, and as the snobbish NYC art dealer in Six Degrees of Separation (1993) with Stockard Channing and Will Smith (edit)

Donald: When he would call, you weren't prepared and when I got to speak to him I didn't get to say everything I wanted to. I wrote to him every other day though. (edit) Donald: In America, I get mistaken as an Englishman. In England I get mistaken as an American. But I'm a Canadian, in my heart and soul. (edit) (Speaking of his early roles)
Donald Sutherland: Well, I was always cast as an artistic homicidal maniac. But at least I was artistic! (edit) Reporter: What made you want to get involved with The Italian Job?
Donald Sutherland: Three things I guess. Underlying it was shooting in Venice again after 30 years, because I shot a film there called Don't Look Now with Julie Christie, directed by Nic Roeg. (edit) Reporter: What has been the guiding light in your career?
Donald Sutherland: You have a little bit of talent, a certain amount of good fortune and a lot of hard work in pursuit of whatever truth you can find in it, and if you are really lucky, a terrific partner and I have that and those four things worked out for me (edit)
