Kiefer Sutherland was born on December 21, 1966 in London, England, UK. He is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Canadian television and film actor.

Kiefer is the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas who are both successful Canadian actors.

He appeared in numerous coming-of-age films throughout the 1980s, including The Bay Boy, Rob Reiner's Stand by Me and the vampire thriller The Lost Boys. In 1986, Sutherland founded Still Water Productions, named after a river that ran through his Montana ranch.

He also starred in successful ensemble movies, including Young Guns (1988), and Flatliners (1990). Although he has carried the lead in several movies and played a variety of roles, he has a reputation for playing creeps and jerks, such as in A Few Good Men (1992) starred opposite Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson, Freeway (1996), A Time to Kill (1996), Eye For An Eye (1996) and Dark City (1998).

His last projects include The Sentinel (2006) and Stephen Hopkins' hit series 24, which earned him a Golden Globe award.

Sutherland was married to Camelia Kath from 1987-1990; they have a daughter, Sarah Jude. He married Kelly Winn in 1996; the couple separated in 1999, and Kiefer officially filed for divorce in 2004. He is currently linked to 24 costar Reiko Aylesworth.
