Actor Kiefer Sutherland will become chairman of an actors conservatory in Toronto.
Sutherland, who is the son of actors Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, will take the helm of a four-month actors conservatory at the Canadian Film Centre (CFC) until February 2010.
Attending a CFC barbecue at the Toronto International Film Festival, he said: “I am honoured to contribute to Norman Jewison’s legacy by offering the CFC my passion for storytelling, for Canada and its talent.”
In a statement the CFC said: “Over the course of four-and-a-half months, the Actors Conservatory will engage actors in the on-screen storytelling and film/TV making process, increasing their opportunities to forge relationships both on and off screen.”
