I'll always remember his roles in Kellie's Heroes and The Eagle has Landed. I know he did a bunch of other stuff but he stole the show in those two.
RIP Donald Sutherland

Sgt Oddball in Kelly's Heroes. He was one of the best character actors
From ruthless spy in The Eye of the Needle to the gentle Mr Bennett in Pride and Prejudice--fine actor with great range.

Damn. He was one of those actors that I could enjoy even if he was just reading the phone book. He threw himself into his roles with such authenticity. RIP sir.

88 Years of seasoning is a good run. RIP.
I saw a late-night interview with him. He told an amusing story about his experience making Animal House. He didn't think much of the story or the movie's chances of doing well. When offered either a bigger salary or smaller salary with a piece of the "back-end" (box office earnings) he chose the latter. He said it ending up costing him millions!

I can still see Donald Sutherland in this great old film ...
And probably always will.
Rest in peace. Well done.

Rest in peace. Well done.

Donald was amazing over his long career, I don't know the half of it. I did like his role in Backdraft, as Ronald the pyromaniac.
