"I liked the ceremony, the ritual of preparing cocaine, as much as doing it. I did it for a year, loved it, then stopped. Now I feel the same way about cooking." - Kiefer Sutherland

Kieffer is currently best known for playing super secret agent Jack Bauer on the hit TV show 24. Or maybe he is best known for his recent jail stint for driving drunk. But if your of an age, he is the clear and certain heir to his dad, Donald Sutherland. Both have mastered the ability play quirky characters with unusual personality characteristics.

      (Newser) - There's a clear gender disparity in the obsessive media coverage of celebrity meltdowns, writes the New York Times.
