Notably, all four of Donald’s sons are in some capacity named after directors that he’s worked with. His eldest was named for Warren Kiefer, who directed one of the actor’s earliest movies The Castle of the Living Dead. Kiefer, 55, has been a staple in Hollywood for almost as long as his dad has! He made his film debut in 1983’s Max Dugan Returns, which his dad starred in. Through the 80s, Kiefer starred in a number of classic movies like Stand By Me and The Lost Boys. Through the 90s, he continued taking on film roles, including beloved flicks like Flatliners, but his biggest role came in 2001 when he landed the part of Jack Bauer in the long-running series 24. Since then, he’s taken on other roles in both TV and movies, but he’s most well-known for 24.

While Kiefer’s dad is a movie legend, the two have rarely acted together on-screen, but the father and son teamed up for the movie Foresaken in 2016. “I’ve watched him for my whole life, and to have the opportunity to work with him was something I’ve wanted my whole career,” he told Good Morning America at the time.
Throughout his life, Kiefer has been married twice, and he shares one daughter Sarah, 34, with his ex-wife Camelia Kath. Sarah is keeping the Sutherland acting family tradition going, as she’s broken into the business as well, most notably in the political comedy Veep. Related Link
