Kiefer is Jack ... Jack is Kiefer (unfortunately for him) ...Continue »
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.

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. ...Continue »
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.

Kiefer Sutherland has always done well in the roles he has played. But he will always live in his father's shadow do to the fact that his Father got the big "A" movie roles that have bypassed Kiefer for some reason or another. ...Continue »
Kiefer's performance on 24 is awesome. He is Jack Bouer and he is 24. Without Kiefer there would be no 24. Because he is so good at being Jack Bouer, most people will not be able to see him as anybody else. I am afraid it will be hard for him to be cast as anyone other then Jack Bouer. The only thing that i would like to see changed on 24 for Kiefer is the romance. I would love to see him get involved with one of the Ladies romanticly. See a softer side to Jack once in a while. I can see Kiefer pulling that off and still keep the hard hitting Jack that we are use to.

I look forward to 24 and seeing what comes next for Kiefer Sutherland.

i really like this Kiefer , he really fit for his role in 24 .
24 is one of my best shows , and it wasn't gonna be that good without Kiefer . when he act in 24 you feel like this guy was born for his role in 24 .
and beside 24 he have some good work , like his new movie mirrors , ok the movie wasn't that good , but he played his part in a great way .
but despite his other work , he is one of the best actors for the great job he do in 24
