A YOUNG GUN GROWS UP

THE SON Born in London in 1966 to Donald Sutherland and his second wife, actress Shirley Douglas, Kiefer (here in 1970) didn’t star in a film opposite his dad until last year’s Western Forsaken. “It was one of the greatest experiences that I’ve had in my life,” he tells Closer. THE VAMP “I’ve always smiled about the longevity that a film like The Lost Boys has managed

to have,” says Kiefer, seen motorcycling with co-star Jami Gertz in the 1987 teen vampire

pic. “I think that’s cool.” THE COWBOY “A lot of people say they really appreciated Young Guns,” he says of his 1988 Western with Alan Ruck, Emilio Estevez, Christian Slater and Lou Diamond Phillips. “I’m grateful!”

THE FIANCÉE Kiefer’s Flatliners co-star Julia Roberts became a runaway bride shortly before their 1991 wedding.

“I commend Julia for seeing how young and silly we were, even at the last minute, as painful and as difficult as it was,” he said.

THE KILLER

After starring with Reese Witherspoon in the 1996 thriller Freeway (“We had a lot of fun making that,” he’s said), they voiced characters in 2009’s

Monsters vs. Aliens. THE COMEBACK KID “I just fell in love with the script” for his new series Designated

Survivor (with Natascha McElhone). “It’s smart, but it’s also very moving.”
