Kiefer Sutherland A Cowboy?

by on September 11th, 2006

I think cowboys are sexy and Kiefer sure looked good in a cowboy hat in the movie "Cowboy Up" so it’s understandable that he thought about being a cowboy at one time.

Kiefer Sutherland’s career couldn’t be going any better having recently scooped an Emmy award for his acclaimed role as 24’s Jack Bauer.

But things haven’t always looked so rosy for the actor who admits he considered becoming a full-time rodeo rider during one low-point.

"There was a point when I just wasn’t being offered anything and the things I did get weren’t very good," he tells Hotdog magazine. via GMTV

In 2000 Kiefer joined an allstar cast including Daryl Hannah and Molly Ringwald to make the movie "Cowboy Up":

COWBOY UP (known as RING OF FIRE during its brief U.S. theatrical run) is a celebration of the risk-taking, dare-devil personalities of the modern rodeo. In the world of competition bull riding, newcomer Ely Braxton (Marcus Thomas) is the craziest guy around. His brother Hank (Keifer Sutherland) is a rodeo clown, and the two use each other to play up their acts. But love may be the one thing that tears the brothers apart. When Ely falls for the rodeo’s sweetheart (Daryl Hannah), Hank is filled with jealousy and hatred. Directed by Xavier Koller, COWBOY UP’s screenplay was written by Robert Redford’s son, James.

I wonder if that’s where he got the idea to be a cowboy?  Then again he was also in the movie "The Cowboy Way" with Woody Harrelson in 1994…I guess Kiefer is a cowboy at heart!
