About

Kiefer Sutherland is a renowned actor, producer, director, and touring musician, best known for his iconic role as Jack Bauer in the acclaimed television series 24, for which he won an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

With a career spanning over four decades, he has appeared in numerous notable Hollywood movies including Stand by Me (1986), The Lost Boys (1987), Young Guns (1988) and Young Guns II (1990), Flatliners (1990), A Few Good Men (1992), The Three Musketeers (1993), A Time to Kill (1996), Phone Booth (2002), Melancholia (2011) and Tinsel Town (2025).

Television credits include 24 (nine seasons from 2001–2014), Designated Survivor (2016–2019), The Fugitive (2020) and Rabbit Hole (2023).

His performances range from gripping thrillers to powerful dramas, demonstrating his ability to embody complex characters across genres.

Beyond acting, he has worked behind the camera as a director and producer. His directorial debut, Last Night (1993), earned strong reviews, and he has continued to contribute creatively to numerous projects throughout his career.

Kiefer Sutherland is also an accomplished and dedicated singer-songwriter, blending country, Americana, and rock influences into his music. His songs are deeply personal, telling stories of love, loss, and resilience, all delivered with his signature gravel-toned voice.

His debut album in 2016, Down in a Hole, introduced audiences to his raw, confessional style and earned praise from critics and fans alike. Kiefer’s second album in 2019, Reckless & Me, was a breakthrough success, reaching the Top 10 on the UK Albums Chart and hitting #1 on the UK Americana and Country charts, where it stayed for several weeks.

With the release of Bloor Street in 2022, Sutherland further cemented his reputation as a songwriter of honesty and depth, balancing upbeat anthems with heartfelt ballads. He then released his much-anticipated fourth album, Grey, in May 2026.

He has toured extensively across North America, Europe, and the UK, performing hundreds of shows in intimate clubs, historic theatres, and major festivals. He has achieved multiple #1s on the Americana and Country charts and has set attendance records at major European festivals, proving his status as a true live performer whose connection with audiences is undeniable.

Born in London in 1966, he is the son of legendary actor Donald Sutherland and actress Shirley Douglas. The family relocated Kiefer to Canada at an early age and he began acting as a teenager. His breakout role came in 1986 as Ace Merrill in Stand By Me, adapted from Stephen King’s novella. Soon after, he starred in the cult classic The Lost Boys (1987), cementing his place in Hollywood’s new wave of leading actors.

Kiefer’s versatility and intensity have made him a respected figure in the entertainment industry, known for his compelling performances across genres. Off screen and off stage, Kiefer Sutherland is known for his dedication to storytelling, his passion for music, and his philanthropic efforts. He supports several charitable organisations and continues to use his platform to raise awareness for important causes.
