Definitely a good actor, his son Kiefer has done well, but needs to stay sober. And learn to stay in marriages.

Sutherland was married to Camelia Kath, the widow of Chicago guitarist/singer Terry Kath, from 1987 to 1990. They have one daughter, Sarah (b. 1988).

Ordinary people was more like “Sub-Par People”, but those were the years of “men can cry years”.

I enjoyed his acting.

He has a classic scene in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”
