[edit] Cleanup

The biography for Sutherland requires massive cleanup, both chronologically and by importance.

The article mentions "PSA". What does PSA mean? Could somebody please make clear what this is? Thanks. Tim Pritlove 01:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

hazarding a guess based on context - Public Service Announcement?
I made a link to Public service announcement. Christopher Parham 23:55, 2005 May 22 (UTC)

[edit] Alma mater?

This feature on The Onion [1] (link will expire in a couple of weeks) seems to imply that Sutherland has a degree from Princeton University. Could someone verify this, or find out more about his educational background? --LostLeviathan 21:17, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

It should also mention that he attened St.Andrew's College in Aurora, Ontario. --Madchester June 30, 2005 05:43 (UTC) " Since Keiffer was a student boarder at ST. ANDREW'S COLLEGE in Aurora, Ontario (just north of Toronto) for a few years...why hasn't WIKIPEDIA updated it's files? Keiffer was so fond of the school that he returned to it's chapel for his wedding!

[edit] Kiefer Sutherland in MASH?

I am knowing the TV-series and as far as i know he has never appeared in the TV-series MASH but his father Donald Sutherland has played Hawkeye Pearce in the Robert Altman movie. If i am wrong could you please give me the name of the episode? Melly42 15:51, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I have removed this from the article because 1)there is no source or detail (episode name/number) supporting a MASH appearance by an 11-year-old Sutherland. IMDB does not list this appearance. 2)The section is a "filmography", a list of some of the films he has appeared in, and as such should not include TV appearances (MASH was the only TV appearance listed here).

[edit] Slightly musteloid sentence...

After the original broadcast of the November 25, 2003 episode of 24, Kiefer Sutherland broke character to address the issue of gun safety, most likely to limit the liability of Fox Network in case someone attempted to recreate the Russian Roulette scenes.

I'm as likely to be cynical about Fox's motivations as the next person (or Simpsons character), but would we have a source for said speculation (much less likelihood)? Alai 03:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: twin peaks, fire walk with me

re: Sutherland plays the gay partner of Chet (Chris Isaak) in this supporting role.

There are no facts to support Kiefer's Character in Twin Peaks being gay.

[edit] Middle Names

From what culture does he come from that allows so many middle names? Is this tradition?

one where people can give their children as many names as they like. Arniep 11:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
the joke i've heard him tell on talk shows is that his father owed people money and promised to name his son after them to get some extension on the debts or something...

[edit] No categories?

Why is it that I don't see any categories for this entry? Siyavash 01:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What Happened to the Trivia?!

What happened to all the trivia that used to be on this page? I understand that some facts did not have proper/reliable citations, but many of them did. Who decided that they could just delete all of these interesting facts (such as the Christmas Tree incident)? Most of the new facts arent even cited. Bwats2 22:08, 2006 July 25(UTC)

There's a wiki policy against trivia... I think, I'm guessing someone invoked that. (StarkeRealm 02:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Twin Sister

It says on IMDB that he has a twin sister.

[edit] Lost virginity?

"I remember the first girl I slept with," he goes on. "She was seventeen, I was thirteen. I remember leaving her house after we'd done it, like, seven times, and I remember skipping to the bus stop, going, 'I've done it seven times.' And I was literally skipping."

From Rolling Stone Magazine

We could put this in the article... seriously, what a tool

[edit] Award

I'll award the cool one who takes a pic of Jack Bauer(Kiefer Sutherland) and uploads it here! -- Walter Humala - Emperor of West Wikipedia|wanna Talk? 01:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Due to the terms of Wikipedia's image use policy we cannot use this picture. Wikipedia is allowed to use copyrighted pictures in, for example, the Jack Bauer article, as all pictures of him as a character will be copyrighted. However with Sutherland the actor, it is different as there will be pictures which we can use that are not copyrighted and so, unless we have permission from the owner of the copyright, we must use a free picture. All pictures of Jack Bauer will be copyrighted and so not for use in this article. So unfortunately I will have to remove it, for the time being at least. Algebra man 17:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daughter Michelle and the years

It says Kiefer Sutherland is a grandfather from his daughter Michelle, who was born in 1976. Sutherland was born in 1966. I doubt that he was 10 when she was born, and it would not be very unusual for her to have a child at 30. Are these numbers messed up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jormundgard (talk • contribs) 09:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC).

  • Michelle is his stepdaughter, he married her mother after her real father died--BoyoJonesJr 18:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any relation to the Clan Sutherland?

Just curious. 204.52.215.107 07:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Avatar: The Last Airbender

Was he in that show? Because on Wiki 24 it says he was, but it doesn't list the role--User:NFAN3|NFAN3 00:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pinetree

"Kiefer" is German and signifies "pinetree". 217.226.249.211 06:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kiefer is not dating Reiko (2007)

Hi. Just want to point out an error in Kiefers biography. In in it, it says He is currently dating 'Reiko Aylesworth'(2007). This is not true. He dated her briefly in 2005. (Currently he is single) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.178.227 (talk) 23:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Will he be deported from the U.S.?

As far as I can tell he is not a U.S. citizen. With a criminal conviction, can he maintain his visa to stay in the U.S.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.211.195.25 (talk) 02:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I remember watching the Charlie Rose Show awhile back where Kiefer Sutherland was a guest talking about 24 hours. He said to Charlie Rose that he became a US citizen recently. First time I learned that he and his famous father were of Canadian origin. --Pilot expert (talk) 10:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is his year of birth?

The article gives two different years of birth: 1966 and 1967. Only one can be correct. 84.60.125.42 (talk) 13:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
