<title>Explosions, Car Chases and Cupcakes: Jack Bauer Reps Acer</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ys0fT0U7oKo"></iframe></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kiefer-Sutherland-profile.html">Kiefer Sutherland</a></strong> is no stranger to the world of advertising &#8212; he&#8217;s done <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=056BGEiUCmE" target="_blank">voice-overs</a> for the likes of <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Apple-profile.html">Apple</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ford-profile.html">Ford</a></strong> and, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/kiefer-sutherland-axe-commercial_n_1682327.html" target="_blank">most recently</a>, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Axe-Body-Spray-profile.html">Axe Body Spray</a></strong>. But in this new ad for Taiwanese PC-maker <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Acer-profile.html">Acer</a></strong>, directed by <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Stink-profile.html">Stink</a></strong>&#8216;s Ivan Zacharias, Sutherland had to do a bit more than read a few lines in a studio booth. Here the actor channels his best-known character, dodging explosions and interrogating some shady third parties about a matter of utmost importance: cupcake baking.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="http://adage.com/article/creativity-pick-of-the-day/acer-shows-kind-cupcakes-kiefer-sutherland-make/236783/" target="_blank">AdAge</a></em>, Acer Global Marketing Director <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Martin-Schellekens-profile.html">Martin Schellekens</a></strong> said in a  statement that the goal of the ad is to show how the brand&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/S5-Ultrabook-profile.html">S5 Ultrabook</a></strong> helps its  users &#8220;explore a different side of themselves.&#8221; The campaign will  <a href="http://adage.com/article/creativity-pick-of-the-day/acer-shows-kind-cupcakes-kiefer-sutherland-make/236783/" target="_blank">reportedly</a> also include other characters going &#8220;beyond their limits.&#8221;</p>
<p>While we look forward to seeing who those characters might be, and what hilarious endgames they try to achieve (James Bond deals with a bridezilla, perhaps?), we&#8217;re happy to settle for Kiefer&#8217;s explosive baking adventures for now.</p>
