Kiefer was making his fourth feature film appearance when he played bully John ‘Ace’ Merrill in the film, after appearing in Max Dugan Returns, The Bay Boy and At Close Range. The star has had a stellar career since the film’s release, with major hits like The Lost Boys, A Few Good Men, The Three Musketeers, and his starring role as Jack Bauer in 24.
Kiefer comes from an acting dynasty, with his parents, Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, both being actors, as are his half-brothers, Angus and Rossif. The star’s daughter, Sarah, whom he shares with his first wife, Camelia Kath, is also an actress.
