Kiefer Sutherland Gets A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame
The 2,377th

Kiefer Sutherland, star of Film and TV, was honored with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony that was held on Hollywood Blvd. right next to the famed Roosevelt Hotel. Here are a few pics of Kiefer along with family and friends at today’s award ceremony for the 2, 377th star on the Walk of Fame:


Emmy Award-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland received the 2,377th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Tuesday, just more than a month before the season premiere of “24,” the Fox Broadcasting series that made him a worldwide star. His father, actor Donald Sutherland, and Joel Schumacher, who directed Kiefer Sutherland in four films, joined him in speaking at the late-morning ceremony next to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Sutherland was born Dec. 21, 1966, in London while his parents, both actors, were working there. The Sutherlands soon moved to California, but the marriage ended in divorce in 1972. In 1975, Sutherland moved with his mother, Shirley Douglas, to Toronto, where he spent the rest of his youth. Sutherland made his acting debut in the 1983 film, “Max Dugan Returns,” alongside his father. The two also appeared together in the 1996 film “A Time to Kill.” He appeared with his mother in “Woman Wanted” in 2000. His first major motion picture was the 1984 Canadian drama, “The Bay Boy,” which earned him a nomination for a Genie Award, the Canadian version of the Academy Award. Sutherland’s other movie credits include “Stand By Me,” “The Lost Boys,” “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me,” “A Few Good Men,” “Flatliners,” “Young Guns,” and “The Three Musketeers.”

While Kiefer was pretty amazing in Stand By Me, The Lost Boys, A Few Good Men and Flatliners (to name but a few of my fave Kief movies), I love him most for his portrayal of Jack Bauer on the hit FOX series 24. It’s amazing … you never think about how many films a person has appeared in until you see them listed before you … Kiefer has been working his ass off and I am thrilled that he is finally being honored for his accomplishments. I love that his castmates from 24 (most especially Mary Lynn Rajskub) came out for the ceremony but I think I like the pic of Kiefer with his father Donald the most. Much love and congrats, Kiefer! You have deffo earned this honor.

    Keifer’s grandfather (on his mum’s side) was Tommy Douglas who introduced universal health care to Canada and was voted the Greatest Canadian by the Canadian public.

    I don’t even remember him in Twin Peaks! I totally thought they got that wrong! I’ll have to watch it again..Damn fine tv show and damn fine movie as well..Congrats to Keifer! My favorite 24 reference is in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia when Dennis names his cop cat Agent Jack Bauer..

    Nobody “earns” a star. You pay a fee and fill out an application and poof…you have a star. You could probably get one if you shelled out the money Trent. That would be AH-mazing.

  11. Chic Baker says:

    I had the biggest crush on Kiefer after I saw “Flatliners”! I even saw “The Cowboy Way” just for him. And yes, I am filled with regret over it. *Irregardless*, yay for the Kiefster!

  12. Char says:
