The younger Sutherland sat down with “Good Morning America” co-anchor George Stephanopoulos today to discuss the Sutherlands' new western “Forsaken." Kiefer admitted that he was so enamored with his father’s performance, he forgot his own lines.
“You have to understand, I’ve wanted to work with my father for 30 years,” Kiefer said.

“The experience is something I will never forget,” he continued. “It was the most time I’ve actually spent with my father [at] one time in my life and it’s a memory and an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.”
