Remembering Kiefer's Father, Donald Sutherland (1935-2024)

When Justin and I spoke with actor Kiefer Sutherland, we practiced our questions for the first and last time ever. We had no intention to ask our special guest about his legendary parents, yet he spoke fondly of both during our April 23, 2021 conversation, which is posted here. 

We hope you enjoy this brief excerpt and find one of Donald's numerous performances to watch tonight.

"The towering presence of Canadian actor Donald Sutherland is often noticed, as are his legendary contributions to cinema. He has appeared in almost 200 different shows and films." IMDb
