Kiefer Sutherland: Man Of The Hour


Here's an article from The Hollywood Reporter about '24' star Kiefer Sutherland as part of Kiefer's work being honored when he receives his star today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Excerpt:

"It would be impossible to overstate the value Kiefer brings to our show in terms of his professionalism as an actor and as an executive producer," says 20th Century Fox TV chairman Gary Newman. "He arrives every day prepared for his work. He's focused, he's fast and incredibly demanding of himself and others in terms of the creative quality of what we do."

"24" executive producer Howard Gordon believes that Sutherland's identification with his character Jack Bauer is crucial to the success of the series. "Kiefer has a really interesting relationship to Jack," Gordon says. "At some level, I think Jack is an aspirational character for Kiefer."

"I think our affection for Jack comes from Kiefer's affection for Jack. He really does ultimately induct us into that character and make us feel what we're supposed to feel. Kiefer has a knowledge of Jack Bauer that is deep in a way that nobody else's could possibly be. I think it's that thoughtfulness and the depth of his commitment to the character that makes it come alive."
