| Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland CM (born December 21, 1966 in London, England) is an Emmy Award-winning, Golden Globe-winning Canadian television and film actor, best known for his role of Jack Bauer on the action/thriller/drama series 24. Sutherland owns a recording studio and record label, both called Ironworks. Sutherland is the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, both successful Canadian actors. He is of Scottish descent on both sides and is the grandson of Canadian statesman and inventor of Canadian medicare Tommy Douglas, who was in 2004 voted by CBC viewers as The Greatest Canadian. He and his twin sister, Rachel, were born in London while his parents were working there. As a result, he holds both Canadian and British passports. His family moved to Los Angeles, California shortly afterwards, but his parents eventually divorced in 1970. In 1975, Sutherland moved with his mother to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he attended high school at St. Andrew's College, Martingrove Collegiate Institute and Malvern Collegiate Institute. Sutherland was engaged to Julia Roberts, although in 1991 their relationship ended just five days before their planned marriage. Sutherland dated his 24 co-star Reiko Aylesworth between 24 season 2 and season 3. At an after-party, Reiko had slipped on spilled drinks and sustained a head injury. Kiefer rushed to her side and stayed with her at the hospital. Paparazzis spotted him visiting Reiko at her home. From a news article, he supposedly fell in love with her after that. Recently Sutherland and Aylesworth may be back to dating each other again according to the NY Post. (2006) The two had been spotted together around Los Angeles. He has a daughter, Sarah Jude Sutherland, and one stepdaughter from his previous marriage to Camelia Kath.
