  • Kiefer To Be Released On Monday!!

    After serving 48 days in the Glendale City Jail, Kiefer Sutherland will be released on Monday. Expect a paparazzi feeding frenzy as Sutherland will be released through the front doors of the prison, according to Officer John Balian, who adds, "I have no idea who'll be picking himMore up." Balian also confirms previous reports about Kiefer's behaviour inside the jail, saying, "Throughout his stay, he never griped, never complained. He never wanted preferential treatment from the get go, and we respect him for that." Here's hoping Britney will be extra nuts on Monday to take some of the press off Kiefer.

    Great Actor! hide show

    Kiefer is one of the greatest actors i know. For a moment I was actually fooled that he was a real federal agent, and I knew clearly that he wasn't but something inside me couldn't stop thinking of Kiefer as a federal agent and not an actor! His portrayal of Jack Bauer in 24 is spectacular, and no one would have portrayed the role of Jack Bauer better than he did. All through from the first season to the eighth season he was amazing, and I was glad when he finally got to win the Emmy in 2006 for his portrayal as Jack Bauer in 24 season 5. I think after the 24 movie he deserves an Oscar too. He's got talent!

    Kiefer is Jack ... Jack is Kiefer (unfortunately for him) hide show

    One of the more under-rated actors of our generation. He hasn't had the big "A-class" movies - but this is probably only due to the fact that everybody will always see him as Jack Bauer of 24, and will struggle to see him play anything else. He is so good as Jack Bauer, that he has single-handed made the show one of the best on television.
    When it comes to TV characters tough men, Jack Bauer is always included (along with the likes of Bourne or Chuck Norris :)) - and this can only give credit to Kiefer's outstanding acting abilities.
    I hope that he gets given a break on a big budget movie, so that non-24 fans (are there any out there?) will see his qualities as an actor.

    He is the man hide show

    What a guy ... he surely made 24 a great show. Before I heard of the show , i used to hear my friends rooting for him . after watching the show for few weeks , i could easily see the reason. I have seen one other movie by him , but in this show he seems totally a different actor. Undoubtedly the show has been centered around him , but his role in it and presence has been most watchable and easily likable . Whether it is his handling of criminals and terrorist , or his relation with co-workers or the women in his life ... he rocks .

    Keifer Sutherland is the son of the very talented Donald Sutherland. He is kind of a Canadian so I love him, and I mostly love him because i think he is really really hot. hide show

    I love Keifer Sutherland, i think he is really attractive and talented. I think he was a really disturbing hot in A Time to Kill, even though he was like a part of the KKK. i still though he had like a hillbilly type of hot. Still none the less hot. I have always had a thing for older guys and he definatly fits the type of guys that i love love love! ! !
    He is kind of a bad boy too. Not like the 'I'm gonna shoot you mother f****r! !" but the one that acts kind of bad but won't shoot you... It's kind of hard to explain, but I know what i mean.
    Anyways i think he is talented and hot to boot.
