The Comeback Kids: Movies That Resurrected Actors’ Careers

Back With A Bang

With acclaimed actor Donald Sutherland as his father, Kiefer Sutherland was bound for fame. He made his first appearance in the classic 1986 film Stand By Me and was soon in constant demand. He starred in a number of films that are considered cult classics, like Young Guns and The Lost Boys. He then retired in the 90’s to buy a ranch in Montana, and began competing in cattle-roping contests, actually winning a number of them. He returned to acting with a bang in 2001, landing the role of Jack Bauer in the hit series 24.
