Kiefer Sutherland once tried to take his father's job. The "24" star - whose father is actor Donald Sutherland - says when he realized how much money his dad was making by lending his voice to commercials, he wanted to do it himself.

He said: "My dad does the voiceover for everything from Sunkist to Volvo and one day I thought, 'Hmm that seems a good way to make a living.'"
Donald Sutherland wrote to his son Kiefer "every other day" when the '24' star was in jail.

The 'Dirty Sexy Money' actor spoke to Kiefer - who was incarcerated last December for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) and violating probation - as often as possible but found it easier putting pen to paper.
Hollywood veteran Donald Sutherland was forced to turn down the chance of playing real life son Kiefer's fictional dad in hit TV show 24 - because he was too busy. The actor was tied up working on new movie Fool's Gold when Kiefer approached him about the role, which ultimately went to Babe star James Cromwell.
