'Designated Survivor' season 2 cast update: Kiefer Sutherland snapped in totally un-Kirkman-like behaviour at a bar; pursues music career during season break

Everyone knows Kiefer Sutherland as the badass that he is in “24” and the troubled President of the United States in “Designated Survivor." It would be hard to imagine this man having fun. However, he actually does. Everyone might wonder what he's up to when he is not chasing criminals or getting hounded by terrorists. Behind all that charisma is a regular guy who enjoys music and some booze.

Sutherland is nothing short of perfect to be the actor to play the most powerful man on earth on “Designated Survivor.” If nothing prepared him for a challenging role at the White House, the same can be said at how he handles his music career. His debut album “Down in a Hole,” features a rock and folk vibe. He later on went on tour that brought him to Thalia Hall. This became a huge learning experience for the actor.

“I thought I was going to be able to use 30 years experience working as an actor. Certainly that was gonna help me on stage. I was wrong,” the 50-year-old actor said in an interview with the Chicago Sun Times. He added that when he goes onstage as a singer, the songs get very personal, and he is able to make them his own. Singing and acting end up being different for him, although he gets to tell stories in both capacities.

Everyone might not expect the brusque actor to have fun with a music career, but most people might get more shocked to learn that he enjoys booze every once in a while. Radar Online says that in a recent Randy Lennox party in Ottowa, Canada, the actor was partying like there was no tomorrow.

Sutherland was reportedly downing shots that looked like whiskey as he enjoyed the open bar and took full advantage of the situation. Sutherland had a lot of failed relationships in the past, including a controversial engagement to Julia Roberts. While he may not have been that lucky in love early on, he said that he has not given up on finding love just yet.

Keifer Sutherland returns to TV on “Designated Survivor” season 2 in September. The show airs on NBC in the US. It also airs on Netflix US and Australia.
