Keifer Sutherland, the Man with the Golden Voice

Keifer Sutherland, the Mel Blanc of commercials

OK, we like Keifer. We aren’t too uppity to admit it. We liked the Young Guns franchise. We even liked 24, until it got too formulaic and predictable (have you ever noticed that the characters with the cheaper Nextel phones always get killed off early—check it out).

But even as much as we like him, we have to admit one thing: like many famous actors he never really plays anyone other than himself. Yes, we like him, but he is perpetually Keifer, just in different cirmcustances, and always in his Batman-esque rasp. Do we really have to half-whisper everything Keifer?

So, with his trademark sound it is not surprising to hear him voicing-over all over the place. But geez! Does he really have to be the voice of every commercial? Really? Hey Keifer, Vince Vaughn is on the phone, he wants his summer ‘04-’05 over-exposure back.

And now we better go before Dennis Miller sues us for steal his schtick.
