Bits and Pieces:
Kiefer’s Parents divorced when he was 4 years old and he moved with his mother to Canada from LA. He didn't see too much of his dad and didn't really know how big of a star Donald was until he was a bit older. At age 9, young Kiefer started doing acting workshops while he was in school. He was a track star at school and ended up being one of the top runners in Ontario. He was soon taken by acting, dropping out of St. Andrew's College, a prestigious boy's school in Aurora, Ontario at age 15. His early credits include a walk-on that Donald got him in Max Dougan Returns and the lead role in the Canadian film The Bay Boy. Kiefer won his first acting award from this role, a Genie. After this Kiefer quit his job as a waiter and left for the big time in New York City with some friends. They rented a less than desirable apartment and within 2 days Kiefer was offered a gig on a soap opera for over $100,000 a year. This wasn't his taste, though, he wanted to do movies. He went to an agent and said that he would turn down that offer if the agent took him on as a client. The agent agreed but then Kiefer went unemployed for an entire year. During this year he put his friends through theater school but at the end he took some advice from a friend, got in his '69 Mustang (called Lucy) and went to LA. There he lived on a beach for three months in his car because he was broke, but the advantage was they had public showers. In that time he picked up 3 deals, one in the Steven Spielberg TV series, Amazing Stories for one episode, another in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and the last and biggest, a role in Stand By Me, where he played 'Ace'.
