He was in a lot of movies in the late 80s (Stand By Me, Lost Boys) and then he went on this string in the early 90s where he played like the creepiest characters known to man - rapists, kidnappers, etc. He was kind of off the radar imo before 24. He also was engaged to Julia Roberts before she ran off with his best friend (Daniel Day Lewis). His dad is Donald Sutherland...
Here is the IMDB thing for him:
