Kiefer Sutherland

Kiefer Sutherland is one of those actors who just owns every room he walks into, and Jack Bauer is probably the reason a generation of people started saying "we're running out of time" in a raspy voice. Born in London but raised Canadian — son of Donald Sutherland, which means acting is basically in his DNA — Kiefer spent the '80s carving out a genuinely impressive film career with roles in Stand by Me and The Lost Boys before TV turned him into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. 24 was appointment television at its peak, and he won a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe for it, plus a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Designated Survivor later proved he could carry a whole show on his shoulders again. The guy never coasted — that's what I respect most about him.
