10 of the best acting career comebacks of all time (+Photos)

2. Kiefer Sutherland

Kiefer Sutherland is the son of legendary actor Donald Sutherland. Kiefer had a breakout role when he starred in the movie Stand By Me, in 1986. He then went on to appear in Young Guns, Dark City and Lost Boys. Kiefer Sutherland strangely “retired” in the late 1990s. During that time, he bought a ranch in Montana and entered cattle-roping contests, many of which he won. Then in 2001, he got the role of Jack Bauer in the drama series 24. This became the role that attracted an entirely new audience to him, and he’s now best known for this long-running role.
