After taking part in a sadistic rapist/assassin in Eye for an Eye, Kiefer Sutherland had a tough time going out in public for some pizza and video games.
If you happen to thought the animatronic rats, chickens and bloodhounds that would escape in music – or revolt – at any time have been the scariest a part of Chuck E. Cheese, then you definitely by no means encountered Kiefer Sutherland inside of 1. It didn’t assist that he had simply starred as a rapist and assassin in 1996’s Eye for an Eye.
Talking on the Fan Expo Chicago (through Leisure Weekly) over the weekend, Kiefer Sutherland recalled his expertise in public quickly after taking part in Robert Dobbs, the person who goes unconvicted after killing Sally Area’s daughter in Eye for an Eye. “After Eye for an Eye opened, I took my daughter, who was eight years outdated, into Chuck E. Cheese…I’ve by no means seen dad and mom go away a spot so quick with their youngsters in my life. My daughter really thought I’d rented the place for simply us. As a result of inside 10 minutes, everyone was gone. I used to be mortified by that, and she or he was simply within the ball part taking part in be herself, simply having the time of her life.”
Kiefer Sutherland added that that’s simply a part of what comes with being actor generally, saying, “There’s an amazing sense of duty while you tackle that half, and you must lean into it, and you understand persons are going to hate you for it. I believe that’s a credit score to the truth that we make films that folks actually consider are actual. They’re not. However individuals do consider they’re actual.”
Directed by John Schlesinger, Eye for an Eye finds Sally Area haunted by Kiefer Sutherland’s character, who roams free and begins tormenting her and her household. Whereas panned upon launch, I’ve at all times discovered Sutherland’s efficiency to be downright nasty, simply rating amongst his most underappreciated. The solid additionally contains Ed Harris, Joe Mantegna and Beverly D’Angelo.
Kiefer Sutherland’s calendar is wanting fairly sturdy, as The Caine Mutiny Court docket-Martial (William Friedkin’s remaining movie) will play on the Venice Movie Pageant and he has a task in what’s poised to be Clint Eastwood’s final go as director, Juror #2.
