Kiefer Sutherland

Wasn't Kiefer known for light comedies before? How did he get cast as
a brainy action hero in 24?

Dano...

The first two films that come to mind for me are The Lost Boys and
Flatliners. I'm sure he's done comedy, but one doesn't even come to mind
for me. Are you confusing him with Anthony Michael Hall?

Why would anyone be able to confuse the two?

Barry Margolin...

Maybe because they both started working around the same time, as
satellites of the Brat Pack.

Dano...

They're both blond....why would anyone know Kiefer from his comedy work?
What "light comedies" are you thinking of?

I'm not arguing that the original poster seems confused, since as I said
in a previous post that the Keifer Sutherland films I can think of are
not comedy.

But to suggest he's confusing Keifer with Anthony Michael Hall seems
a stretch. I can't see anything they have in common, though now
that you mention it the hair might be similar.

I would think long before Anthony Michael Hall, there might be a lot
more candidates the original poster is confusing with Keifer Sutherland.

Dano...

I'll bite...name one. Someone known for light comedy that now stars in a
dark, serious, macho TV series.
