'''Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland''' (born [[December 21]], [[1966]] in [[London]], [[England]]) is an [[Emmy Award|Emmy]] and [[Golden Globe Award]]-winning [[Canada|Canadian]] [[television]] and [[film]] [[actor]], currently well known for his role of [[Jack Bauer]] on the series ''[[24 (TV series)|24]]''. Sutherland also owns a recording studio and record label, called [[Ironworks (record label)|Ironworks]].

== Biography ==

=== Early life ===

Kiefer Sutherland is the son of [[Donald Sutherland]] and [[Shirley Douglas]] who are both successful Canadian actors. He is of Scottish descent on both sides and is the grandson of Canadian statesman [[Tommy Douglas]].

He and his twin sister, Rachel, were born in [[London]] (in [[St Mary's Hospital, London|Saint Mary's Hospital]], [[Paddington]]) while his parents were working there. As a result, through the ''[[jus soli]]'' and the ''[[jus sanguinis]]'', he holds both a [[Canadian passport]] and a [[British citizenship|British passport with certificate of Right to Abode]].

His family moved to [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] shortly afterwards, but his parents eventually divorced in [[1970]]. In [[1975]], Sutherland moved with his mother to [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]], where he attended [[high school]] at [[St. Andrew's College (Aurora, Ontario)|St. Andrew's College]], [[Martingrove Collegiate Institute]], [[Harbord Collegiate Institute]] and [[Malvern Collegiate Institute]]. Kiefer also spent a semester at Regina Mundi College in London, Ontario, Canada. He also attended St. Clair Junior High School in East York, Ontario.

=== Bill Haley historyCareer ===

As of 2006, Kiefer Sutherland has appeared in over fifty films, most notably ''[[The Lost Boys]]'', ''[[Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me]]'', ''[[A Few Good Men]]'', ''[[Flatliners]]'', ''[[Young Guns]]'', ''[[The Vanishing (1993 film)|The Vanishing]]'', ''[[Stand By Me (film)]]'', ''[[Dark City]]'', and ''[[A Time To Kill]]'' as well as ''[[The Sentinel (2006 film)|the Sentinel]]''. But since 2001, Sutherland is most widely associated with the role of [[Jack Bauer]], on the critically acclaimed television series ''[[24 (TV series)|24]]''. After being nominated four times for the "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series" [[Primetime Emmy Award]], Sutherland won the award in 2006 for his role in ''24''s fifth season. His father, Donald, was also an Emmy winner; he won an Emmy award for his role in ''Citizen X'' in 1996. In the opening skit of the [[2006 Primetime Emmy Awards]], Sutherland also made an appearance as his ''24'' character, Jack Bauer. He was also nominated for Best actor in a Drama Television Series in the 2007 Golden Globe Awards for ''24''.

Dear Skido:

The actor was reportedly horrified to learn that the series ''24'' had influenced some U.S. Army personnel to think that torture is acceptable.<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/topics/Kiefer+Sutherland The Huffington Post]</ref>. Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan visited the set of ''24'' in February 2007 to urge the show's makers to reduce the number of torture scenes<ref>[http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article2264632.ece Independent.co.uk]</ref> and Sutherland accepted an invitation from the U.S. military to teach [[West Point]] cadets it is wrong to torture prisoners.<ref>[http://www.hollywood.com/news/US_Army_Invites_Sutherland_to_Give_Anti_Torture_Speech/3662740 Hollywood.com].</ref>

Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Edward Dixson and I am a son of the man who co-wrote the song Dim Dim The Lights.

In 2005, Sutherland was inducted into [[Canada's Walk of Fame]] in Toronto<ref>http://www.canadaswalkoffame.com/inductees/2005/05_kiefer_sutherland.xml.htm</ref>, where both of his parents have also been inducted. Sutherland was also the first ''[[Inside the Actors Studio]]'' guest to be the child of a former guest; his father, Donald, appeared on the show in 1998.

A lot of what I see written about Bill Haley regarding his playing R&B is seriously wrong.

Sutherland was featured on the cover of the April 2006 edition of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', in an article entitled "Alone in the Dark with Kiefer Sutherland". The article opened up with Sutherland revealing his interest to be killed off in ''24''. However, he had also stated, "Don't get me wrong. I love what I do." It also revealed that he devotes 10 out of 12 months a year working on ''24''.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/profile/story/9596933/alone_in_the_dark_with_kiefer_sutherland Alone in the Dark with Kiefer Sutherland].</ref>

My father knew Haley and Alan Freed. Besides that I like to go to the original source (besides my father) if possible to get information. That means listening to archive radio shows and researching original articles on a topic of the times regarding the subject in question.

He has starred in [[Japan]]ese commercials for [[Calorie Mate]],<ref>[http://www.cmt24.net/ CalorieMate promotion with the TV series 24]</ref> performing a parody of his Jack Bauer character. Sutherland also provides voiceovers for the current ad campaign for [[Ford|Ford Motor Company of Canada]]. These advertisements are thematically of the [[comedy]] genre. In mid-[[2006]], he voiced the [[Apple Computer]] advertisement announcing the inclusion of [[Intel Corporation|Intel]] chips in their [[Macintosh]] computer line.<ref>[http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/editors/2006/01/intelad/index.php Apple Computer advertisement]</ref> He also voices the introduction to [[NHL]] games on the [[Versus]] network in the U.S.

I researched Variety Magazine articles dating late 54 and 55. One article topic read "R&B Big Beat In Pop Music" (Wednesday, January 19, 1955/page 49. The article starts off saying, "The big beat in the pop music biz these days is rhythm & blues and the top name in the r&B field today is Alan Freed."

Sutherland will be the executive producer for the two hour pilot of 'Phenomenon'. Maggie Murphy will also be an executive producer for the show. The Sci Fi channel ordered a script to be written. The show revolves around a mysterious young female prodigy who leads a crack team of experts in investigating odd and supernatural anomalies of nature. <ref>http://www.tv.com/tracking/viewer.html?tid=99510&ref_id=3866&ref_type=101&tag=story_list;title;3</ref>

Alan Freed was a white DJ from Cleveland Ohio who played R&B music on his show. When he came to the WINS Radio station in New York he did the same thing. I listened to some of his radio shows archived at the Museum of Radio and Television in New York.

=== Personal life ===

Back in 54 and early 55 his "Rock n' Roll" show lineup consisted of all Black R&B acts. His Rock n' Roll Party (the first "rock n roll" concert) held at the St. Nicholas Arena, which was by Columbus Circle, New York, back on January 14 & 15 1955 consisted of an all Black R&B roster.

Sutherland was engaged to [[Julia Roberts]] in 1991, although their relationship ended just five days before their planned marriage.<ref>[http://www.hollywood.com/news/Sutherland_I_Forgive_Julia/3678599 Sutherland: 'I Forgive Julia']</ref><ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/faces/kiefer_sutherland.shtml BBD - Drama Faces - Kiefer Sutherland]</ref>

Several episodes of ''24'' have allegedly been rewritten to work around minor injuries Sutherland sustained when partying. In an interview with the London ''[[Daily Telegraph]]'', Sutherland said, "I can't deny half the stuff that's been written about me has been true. I've done some stupid things. You have to take responsibility, go, 'That was embarrassing,' and move forward as best you can."<ref name="BBC">Daily Telegraph. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2006/02/05/svkiefer05.xml 24 heaven] Retrieved 19 April 2007. </ref>

What is apparent in the article and listening to his radio shows is that his use of the term "rock n' roll" was synonomous with R&B. This is supported by my father's account. Freed had his reason. But my father said that Rock n' Roll was a phrase used by Black people that meant: having sex, jamming to music or music that jams. It was very common to hear someone say, "I love this Rock n' Roll music." But that meant R&B music. More about what Elvis and Haley said about R&B later.

On April 26, 2007 Sutherland, appearing on The Tonight Show with [[Jay Leno]], related his encounter with an orangutan while filming "1969", with his longtime pal [[Robert Downey Jr.]] The two actors were being filmed driving a car (actually being towed) when the young female Orangutan became enamoured with Kiefer. Sutherland told the story of his pal "Bobby" climbing out of the passenger side window, leaving him to deal with his new found love, awaiting the trainers who were in the follow car.

Now Freed did show an interest in Haley as early as 53'. Haley came on his show in Cleveland. From my father's recollection and studying Freed History on my own I think it is a fair statement to say that if Freed was going to capitalize on R&B and catapult it world wide he needed a white ambassador to do it. You can't forget the racist country we were in back in 54'. Freed thought Haley could be that person. And Haley thought he could be that person. Sam Phillips (another passionate person about R&B who was in fact an R&B music producer) thought he found that person in Elvis. Sam Phillips had said this already.

During the autumn of [[2001]], Sutherland unintentionally interrupted the filming of the premiere episode of an online series titled ''[[The Lonely Island]]''.<ref>[http://www.thelonelyisland.com/Instyle2.jpg Kiefer Madness]</ref> In the episode "White Power", the main characters develop an addiction to teeth whitener, and eventually mug an old woman to facilitate their addiction. Sutherland, driving by at the time, believed the mugging was real and jumped out of his car to intervene. A small portion of Sutherland's appearance is displayed after the credits, though the portion is only Kiefer stopping his car and looking at them.<ref>[http://www.tv.com/lonely-island-guys/white-power!/episode/891276/summary.html Lonely Island Guys - White Power!]</ref> This anecdote was recounted by [[Andy Samberg]].

But not even Freed was willing to endorse Haley until he was endorsed by the Black music audience. "Freed doesn't usually play versions of the r&b tunes made by the top pop artists because they are imitative of the originals, which are usually made on the indie labels. He claims, moreover, that his audience quickly detects the Jack of authenticity in the cover slices. He believes that pop artists will have to come up with original material in the r&b genre." Page 54. Who is Freed's audience? Black people and whites listening to this new (to them) underground music. So from this we gather that Freed would be looking for a white artist playing original material in the r&b genre if he is to endorse such artist.

True to his grandfather's legacy, Sutherland is an active member of the Canadian [[New Democratic Party]], and has appeared from time to time in NDP advertisements.

Now this didn't stop Pat Boone and these guys from getting on the Pop charts. But they weren't going to get on a Black radio show formatted in the R&B genre, therefore not getting on the R&B charts.

He has one daughter, Sarah Jude, born in 1988, along with a stepdaughter, Michelle Kath, from his first marriage to Camelia Kath, widow of [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]] guitarist/singer [[Terry Kath]].<ref name="BBC"> Sutherland's marriage to Camelia lasted from September 12, 1987 - 1990. In 2006, Sutherland became a grandfather, despite his young age, when Michelle gave birth to a son, Hamish. Michelle, born in 1976, is just ten years younger than Sutherland.

Freed could have played Rock Around The Clock on his show back in April 54' because he knew about him by then. I say this because RATC was an original tune. But apparently if he did or didn't the Black record buying audience didn't buy the record. And other Black radio jocks didn't play it either the first time around.

Sutherland was recently voted sexiest man in the history of the universe on April 27, 2007.

By his own admission he wasn't going to play Haley's SR&R. You yourself said there is a clear distinction in his version and the original. And maybe Freed was afraid to take a chance. But he did play Dim Dim The Lights. So did many other Black DJ's. Why that was so I don't really know. But the same way I (being Black)could get an opportunity to listen to a white artist now similar opportunities existed back then and visa versa. And by 54' it was very possible to hear Black artists on Pop radio. Therefore it is logical to believe that Black people also purposely listened to white stations once they heard their favorite r&b song on a white station by happenstance or some other way.

On [[June 29]], [[1996]], he married Kelly Winn. They divorced in 2004. He has two stepsons from this marriage, named Timothy Daily and Julian Daily.

But the fact is that the Black record buying audience viewed DDTL as a R&B song performed in the R&B genre. And so did Black DJ's (some of them who are still living like Eddie Castleberry - from Ohio, who I happen to personally know). And white artists prior to DDTL did not get played on Black radio programs where there were Black DJ's or white DJ's (there were only a handful but Freed was the first)playing authentic R&B music in the early 50's. Having my father's account to go by and articles stored on micro film support this. Also looking at Billboard Magazine showing DDTL airplay supports this. So these are facts not theories.

And it is also a known fact that the white record buying crowd would and did buy certain R&B records in 54'. Thus if Earth Angel is on the pop charts selling records in 54 and 55 white folks could have bought DDTL thinking they were buying an R&B record too. Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest (other than a change of lyrics from time to time)that if Perry Como or Pat Boone covered a R&B tune that they didn't think they were doing a song in the R&B genre either. It's just that most white DJ's wouldn't play an authentic R&B song then but would play it if a white artist sang it. Likewise, there is nothing in history to suggest that if an R&B song got played on white radio those DJ's didn't think (or their audience)they were playing or listening to a R&B record.

On September 14th 2005, he secretly wed musician [[Erika Larkin]], a former Counting Crows Member, in a private ceremony in Carmel-By-The-Sea. She is currently expecting twins.

And perhap, maybe many Black DJ's didn't know Haley was white in late 54'. Once several Black DJ's started playing the song others joined on when they saw a positive Black response or got requests.

He is an avid collector of [[Gibson Les Paul]]s, and will have his own series of Gibson custom guitars under the company's "Inspired By" line of instruments.<ref>[http://www.gibsoncustom.com/ Kiefer Sutherland Custom Series]

But you tell me, if a song gets on the R&B top ten and also gets on the Variety Top Ten wouldn't that be a bigger record than a song only getting on the Pop Top Ten? And FYI back then songs charted mainly due to their record sales not radio play. That came later.

On April 26, 2007 Sutherland made the dubious claim that he was attacked by an orangutan while filming "1969", and swore never to work with the apes again. Contrary to his claim, orangutan's are noted for being gentle animals, who attack human beings only when provoked.

So how does it happen that RATC gets to be in the BBJ soundtrack in the first place? The way that I said it did. This is quoted in numerous publications and has never been disputed. But that didn't happen until February 55. You think an 11 year old girl was playing a record that was released back in April of 54 in February 55? Not hardly. But if the record was new to her she would. That could happen if record stores tried to get rid of their leftover RATC's after the success of DDTL. This is normal Record Retail practice. That's why you can see Rock Around The Clock getting Juke Box play on the peak of DDTL when viewing the Variety Top Talent And Tunes Chart of January 12, 1955. That chart primarily calculated the popularity of an artist based on Jukebox play, retail disks and retail sheet music. However, the song would have to be selling considerable discs to make it to the Retail Disk Best Sellers Chart. RATC did not do that back in January of 55. But based on the strength of DDTL it got another serge which by chance it got the opportunity to get on the BBJ soundtrack.

On the 24 Season 3 Special Features DVD, Sutherland is practising a scene where two military jets fly over. Once they have flown past, Kiefer shouts to a crew member, "You think thats faster than my Chevelle", which hints that he is also an avid fan of American Muscle Cars.

So by March 55 Black audiences and white audiences were feeling Haley. That is evident by DDTL, RATC and See You Later Aligator. However, it wasn't the success of the movie that made Decca Records rerelease RATC. It was the success of the soundtrack album. Decca saw no reason why it couldn't capitalize specifically on RATC and Haley's popularity. It went number one on the chart when it came out as a single based on its record sales. But a correct analysis of the history based on facts of the times indicate that RATC got its second chance off the tails of DDTL, which was Haley's biggest record prior to RATC's second release.

==Hobbies and Interests==

As far as what Haley thought about his music, there are many audio clips out there where he states that he liked playing R&B. He never said Rock n' Roll. He said that he would moonlight as a R&B act not a R n' R act. You don't think that Haley wanted to be authentic in the genre of R&B? To suggest otherwise would be an insult to his legacy.

Sutherland is a well known collector of many guitars, most of which are [[Gibson]] guitars. Recently, the Gibson Custom shop has released a Kiefer Sutherland signature guitar, the KS-336, as part of their 'Inspired By' series.

Except for Freed using the phrase "Rock n' Roll music" you can't find it in any archive being associated with a white artist. You can't find it being used by a white artist prior to 55'.

== Filmography ==

After 55' and the success of the movie the term Rock n' Roll is used as a genre of its own with Bill Haley and Elvis leading the way. Elvis became the second white artist to cross over with Heartbreak Hotel. He got higher than Haley did. I think RATC only made it to number 3 on the R&B chart. But the point is Haley and Elvis went along with the Rock n' Roll program because they were the benefactors. Of course if you read or hear them talk about Rock n' Roll later they are consistent with Freed's ambitions.

² Appeared alongside his father, [[Donald Sutherland]]<br />

³ Appeared alongside his mother, [[Shirley Douglas]]

=== Directing ===

But since Bill Haley didn't get validated until 55' various accounts of what is the first Rock n' Roll song are floating around out there saying this year, this song, etc., etc. None are based on facts, only specualtion based on theory. And none go back further than 53'. I do know that white people feel better saying that Bill Haley is the father of Rock n' Roll music or Elvis rather than Little Richard or Chuck Berry.

* ''[[Last Light (TV movie)|Last Light]]'' (1993)

* ''[[Truth or Consequences, N.M. (film)|Truth or Consequences, N.M.]]'' (1997)

* ''[[Woman Wanted]]'' (2000)

== Awards and nominations ==

What's clear by factual history is that you won't find anyone saying anything about Rock n' Roll music being the hybrid genre of R&B and Country music until after 55 or maybe 56. And that's because Haley or Elvis have to be the originators. Haley has a CW background but technically Elvis doesn't. But because Elvis is white and he was Haley's successor people assume his background is in CW.

Jimmy Rodgers is considered to be the father of Country Music. He is the first Country artist to be recorded. Anybody listening to his music that has a knowledge of and ear for music genre would clearly say that he was doing blues. His history even shows that he was taught by Black Blues artists. He even recorded a record with Louie Armstrong. That was indeed a first. Even Country Western Swing and Blue Grass sound like a Black music genre. Their roots don't have anything in them other than a Black music genre: Dixie, Jazz, blues, etc.

What did happen was that if you weren't doing blues, jazz, r&b or Pop music you got put in the category of Country Western. Roy Rodgers wasn't doing authentic CW. But he got put there because that's where all cowboy types got placed.

Now when you talk about Honky Tonk that changes up a little. But still you can hear its Blues roots. Haley was doing ballads and Honky Tonk before R&B. But if CW was uptempo it followed a lot of R&B structure. This means as R&B evolved CW evolved following R&B's lead.

Now I will admit that yodelling, the steel guitar and the fiddle was used in early Country Music. But that doesn't mean the genre or the style of the music is different if those instruments are or aren't used. Otherwise we can call every interpretation it's own genre. Haley took the doubling up on the fiddle technique applied it to the guitar and continued to use a steel guitar in his version of R&B music. Does that make what he did something other than R&B? Of course not. If you really get technical, Haley was doing R&B more like it was done in the 40's.

But where did that doubling up technique and steel guitar come from in the first place? I have recently read articles stating that a guitar was used first with the doubling up and the fiddle was just copying the guitar technique. And the first person to use a steel guitar was a blues artist. The fact that it was not commonly used in blues doesn't take away its origins. Blues artists tried to be original and wanted to have their own identity. If more than 5 blues artists were doing a particular thing the rest of them or newcomers weren't going to neccessarily follow. But how Haley was introduced to the technique probably was through CW and not a direct Blues connection. However, that doesn't change origins or roots.

I hope that this was informative and helpful. I have a direct interest in seeing that the history of R&R and my father are written accurately. So I will give you an opportunity to make changes otherwise I will make them.

: Interesting comments. It'll take a little while to go through them all. I'm curious about your reference to a "soundtrack album" - I assume for Blackboard Jungle. There was no such release and I can verify that via numerous sources. Your comment about Freed not playing RATC is on the money, because at the time the song came out Decca and Milt Gabler were promoting Thirteen Women, a song that wasn't very popular with audiences. It wasn't until the movie came out -- and Shake Rattle and Roll and DDTL became huge successes - that RATC finally hit. Occasionally I wonder if a lot of the attention given to RATC shouldn't instead go to SRR or DDTL, but RATC was recorded first so it wins by precedent.

I keep editing my birth name from my page, but some clown keeps putting it back on, and also anyone can just review the history and have it. PLease help me, I would like the article deleted, if you would please. With my personal information out there on the web, I could have random people finding me and god knows what they would do. I thank you for your time, and hope you can delete my page - ROMAN HEART is what it's under.

I wrote a page with one picture for a Japanese Transformers character named Magmatron on March 1st. I wrote it, printed a copy, then went home. I even added links on other pages which mentioned him. The next day the page was completely missing as if it never existed. Any idea why? Thanks for your help. [[user talk:mathewignash]]

I looked into it and cleaned up the talk page. If I happened to have removed a discussion by mistake, please feel free to restore it. I pretty much just got rid of everything by him that didn't appear to do anything to help improve the article per the Wikipedia guidelines. I have no idea who Bill Haley really is so theres no way I can patrol all the articles and correct them. You might want to do it. It might be worth adding {{tl|talkheader}} to the top of them just as a general warning to other editors. On bigger discussion pages (ones that get a lot of traffic) you may want to consider putting up a notice - see [[Talk:Lost (TV series)]] as an example. Even though you are involved, unless it is questionable, you should be able to clean up the talk pages yourself since this is Wikipedia policy - see [[WP:NOT]], specifically: "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought" and "Wikipedia is not a soapbox."

==Fair use rationales -- commented-out text==

The commented-out text instruction at [[Wikipedia:Image_description_page#Fair_use_rationale]] has been there for a while, but you are quite right that it is rare to see it in articles. Having some kind of "pre-emptive rationale" on the image description page is, at least to my mind, the higher priority anyway. That said, having a note in the actual article does at least indicate that an editor has thought about whether the "fair use" rationale actually applies to that article. [[User:Jkelly|Jkelly]] 19:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

It's been there for a while. I had to do it for all the images on ''Thunderball'' before most people would even support it. I think I even had a discussion about this before with you. In anycase, most images dealing with Bond - at least the ones upped by you and me - have rationale. I took care of them all a while back. Example: [[:Image:LicenceRenewed.jpg]]. You uploaded it, but I edited it with all the copyright information and rationale. Did this specific one last September. [[User:K1Bond007|K1Bond007]] 20:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

'''Unwanted interference'''

I notice you altered the page i edited on HMS smiter,

last time i looked you werent in the UK navy, you arent in the unit and you know nothing about it,

I would therefore be obliged if you'd mind your own buisness rather than interfering where you have absolutely no place to. When you know something about the issue then you can use your critical judgement.

I trust i shall not have to come across you again and your unhelpful arrogance

just another point - i had nothing against Norway but you have given me a reason for distaste as you represent them - try and be a better representative of your country.

One more point, i couldnt care less if you block my ip for sending you this message, it just shows how incapable you are of managing a situation.

: On the off chance the anonymous user who left the above notice comes here, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never edited the Smiter article and I am not from Norway! I blocked your IP address yesterday because someone was using it to vandalise userpages, however since it was a shared IP I chose not to permaban the IP even though it is within my power as an administrator to do so. Please review [[WP:OWN]] for the policy regarding "ownership" of articles. There is no such thing. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 17:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
