Kiefer Sutherland of 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY
If you were as skilled as your character jack and you were to implement those skills in a similar real life event would you fight or take flight?
Kiefer: I thought about that in kind of trying to develop the character for the show. His first thought was what would I do if it was My family and they were in trouble and needed my help? He then stated that he would risk it all by fighting to the death. So with that state of mind it made it easier for him to go on to the set and play this role Keifer admire his character because he knows he is no jack and that he does not do all the things that jack can but he used the fact of if that was his family in that situation to prep for his role.
Kiefer Sutherland recently starred in the critically acclaimed “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” and will be next seen in “Pompeii.” This past summer, he filmed the western feature “Redemption,” alongside his father, Donald Sutherland.
Before his work on the FOX drama “Touch,” Sutherland won an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award and two SAG Awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his iconic role on “24.” The show also won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Drama. The eighth and final season of “24” aired on FOX in 2010. “24: Redemption,” a made-for-television movie that bridged Season Six and Season Seven of the drama, aired on Nov. 23, 2008. The telefilm was nominated for five Emmy Awards, including one for Sutherland for Best Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.
In 2011, Sutherland was seen in Lars von Trier’s feature, “Melancholia,” and made his Broadway debut as “James Daley” in the revival of Jason Miller’s Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “That Championship Season.”
The actor also starred in the 10-episode Hulu series “The Confession” as the unnamed hit man. The series was written and directed by Brad Mirman (“The Good Shepherd,” “Truth”) and co-starred John Hurt.
