Kiefer Sutherland Calls His DUI 'A Dumb Mistake'

Originally posted 07/15/2008 12:45PM

Kiefer Sutherland says making sure 24 could proceed without a hitch was his top priority when he served seven weeks in jail last winter following convictions for DUI and violating probation – which he called a "dumb mistake."

Sutherland served 48 days behind bars in Glendale, Calif. during the writers' strike.

"It made what I had to do – obviously a very stupid thing that I did – it made that easier because I could go and the show was not affected by it," Sutherland, 42, said Monday during the Television Critics Association conference in Beverly Hills.

Some things in Kiefer Sutherland's life don't take 24 hours.

The actor is finally divorced from Elizabeth Sutherland – four years after filing papers and nine years after they separated.

A Superior Court judge signed off on the divorce Friday, and the 24 star's ex will drop the "Sutherland" from her name, according to court papers.

Sutherland, 41, filed for divorce from his wife of nearly eight years way back in 2004, citing irreconcilable differences.

The two men seemed to be in a celebratory mood, according to a fellow patron, who told PEOPLE: "They were smiling and laughing a lot."

The night of his release – which happened just after midnight on Monday – "[Kiefer] looked like he was glad to be out," according to jail spokesman John Balian. Umm, yeah.

Sutherland, 41, served his entire sentence for a second DUI conviction and for violating probation. He spent his birthday, Christmas and New Year's at the Los Angeles-area facility.

"Throughout his stay, he never griped, never complained," Balian previously said. "He never wanted preferential treatment from the get go, and we respect him for that."

Actor Kiefer Sutherland is 41 today. But instead of hitting the bars to celebrate, the 24 star will remain behind them.

The highlight of the day is a possible visit (or two) between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. It could all add up to 24 hours of one birthday Sutherland, who was jailed following a plea deal on DUI charges, may not want to remember – but is unlikely to forget. – Caris Davis
