Kiefer Sutherland spills on his laughable encounter with an answering machine

Shinan Govani, National Post Published: Thursday, December 18, 2008

Mario Anzuoni, Reuters"Techno dork" Kiefer Sutherland, with dad Donald in the background, had some difficulty recording a voice mail greeting.

Precisely how much of a "techno dork" is our Kiefer Sutherland?

The guy can save whole countries from mass destruction on TV, but don't expect him to know how to record a voicemail greeting in real life! In fact, when Shirley and Donald go calling their son and they get a message, it's more than likely some Stepford voice on the line.

Kiefer, who actually labels himself an outright "techno dork," tells us all about in the new Hello! Canada. Last year, he recalls, an agent who could never find him got him an "answering machine" for Christmas. And what happened next? "I went to record the greeting," the 24 star says, "and I couldn't stop laughing. I must have recorded 200 messages."

At long last, says the grandson of socialist icon Tommy Douglas, "I decided to stick with the pre-recorded message."

One clarification that I'd appreciate: Is Kiefer so old he actually calls voice mail an "answering machine?" Second thought: If it isn't a voice mail and it is, indeed, an "answering machine," with cassettes and everything, how'd his agent teleport himself back to 1992?
