Kiefer got his first film role in the comedy drama Max Dugan Returns (1983). Sutherland's first major role was in the Canadian drama The Bay Boy (1984), which earned Sutherland and director Daniel Petrie, Genie award nominations for best actor and best director, respectively.

In 1992, Sutherland starred opposite Ray Liotta and Forest Whitaker in Article 99 (1992) and in the military drama A Few Good Men (1992) also starring Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise. Later, in 1994, he starred with Jeff Bridges and Nancy Travis in the American version of The Vanishing (1993) for 20th Century Fox. In 1997, he co-starred with William Hurt and Rufus Sewell in Dark City (1998), directed by Alex Proyas, which was a special presentation at the Cannes Film Festival. Sutherland also added his second directorial credit and starred in Truth or Consequences, N.M. (1997) alongside Kevin Pollak, Mykelti Williamson, Rod Steiger and Martin Sheen.

In a courtroom drama filled with powerhouse performances and sharp legal exchanges, one character stands out not for his screen time, but for his unforgettable presence. Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, portrayed by Jack Nicholson, is the film's moral antagonist, its source of tension, and arguably, its emotional climax. The Power of Less: How Jessup Commands with Minimal Screen Time Colonel Jessup appears in only a handful of scenes, yet every moment he's on screen feels seismic. His late arrival (wel

They Cloned Tyrone: How to Modernise a Genre

Based on my demographics, I’m the last person to be talking about Blaxploitation films or They Cloned Tyrone. Still, when I saw a trailer where a high-tech government conspiracy that harks back to some of America’s darkest moments, all against a crazy background 70s aesthetics, I couldn’t resist - at the end of the day, there’s nothing more appealing to me than a crazy idea.
