Donald Sutherland is dead

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. Personally, I think he was one of the most important actors in the history of movies. He never shied away from his role – good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and he did what he loved – it’s hard to dream of anything more. He lived a good life, wrote Kiefer Sutherland, bidding farewell to his father.

The actor was born in 1935. While still in high school, he worked on the radio, providing local information to residents. He graduated in Canada with a double major in engineering and drama, but decided to start his career in the British market. In London, he graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and from the 1960s he received his first small roles in British series. Roger Moore himself, whom he met on the set of “The Saint”, was supposed to help him in his career. This is how he began his real career in action films. “The Dirty Dozen” and “Gold for the Brash” were just a prelude to “M*A*S*H”, in which he played the role of “Hawkeye”, Captain Benjamin F. Pierce.

Since the 1970s, it would be easier to say which film he didn’t appear in. He could be seen in “Klute”, “Federico Fellini’s Casanova”, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, “Inmate”, “JFK”, “Network”, “Outbreak”, “Missed”, “A Time to Kill”, “The Conspiracy”. “, “Web of Evil”, “Instinct”, “The Virus”, “The Italian Job”… In recent years, he has become known to younger viewers as President Snow in “The Hunger Games”. Despite dozens of excellent roles in award-winning films, he never received an Oscar. He received a Golden Globe and an EMMY for his role in “Citizen X.”
