He's the star and mainstay of 24, a groundbreaking television series.
Furthermore, despite the gruelling demands of portraying Jack Bauer on the small screen, he still finds time for other acting opportunities - most recently in supplying the rasping voice of a jingoistic American general in the animated Monsters vs. Aliens.
But if you tell Kiefer Sutherland that he has it made, you're in for an argument. This most personable of Canadian actors believes in tough self-analysis. Forget those acting awards and the international stardom and the million-dollar pay cheques. He still believes he's capable of more.
"I still feel at the age of 42 that I haven't made the film I want to make. I still feel there is so much to do."
He reminds you of the many bumps along the way, both professionally and personally, since he first attracted attention in the 1984 Canadian film, The Bay Boy.
"It's up and down," he says matter-of-factly. "That's exactly what it has been. I started up and managed to do films like Stand By Me, Lost Boys and Flatliners - things that took off very well. Then there was a bit of a lull, and then I got to do things like A Few Good Men and Dark City. It has gone up and down."
But he never stopped working.
"Work breeds work in our business, and it still does," he says. "But there were huge disappointments."
