RIP to one of the greats. I followed his career from his first roles in Roger Corman movies. My fave role was the crazy priest in "Little Murders".

"It's alright! Everything is alright!"

[JSngry]

Illustrious voiceover career also. Many commercials!

[Kevin Bresnahan]

He was a great actor, even if he only had a bit part. He really brought President Snow to life in those "Hunger Games" movies.

Whenever I see "Animal House", I feel a bit bummed out when his scenes are on. I hope he fired the agent that told him to take the cash up front instead of a piece of the pie that he was originally offered. He lost out on millions & millions of dollars because of that agent.

R.I.P    ....

I saw 'Don't Look Now' when I was too young. Maybe 10 or so. It scared me sh*tless.

The DVD has been in my collection for well over a decade, but whenever I seek out a film to watch, I skip it. Go figure.

 

I have enjoyed other Sutherland-pictures though -  'Klute' by Alan Pakula especially is a favourite that I go back to. He was a fantastic actor.

 

RIP

This has got to be seen to be believed:

The original Homer Simpson. 

Two other standout performances: Hawkeye Pierce in Altman's M*A*S*H, and Calvin Jarrett in Ordinary People.

Here’s a great essay on his career, concentrating on the ’70’s:

Klute did a really good job of capturing the aesthetics of Italian giallos.  Michael Small's score channels both Morricone and Nicolai.

Loved him in so many movies, but for me, it's Oddball in Kelly's Heroes. He is such great fun in that!

Recently watched "Remembering Gene Wilder" and it included a still from "Start the Revolution without Me" in which Gene starred with Donald Sutherland.  Saw that film as a double header with "Monty Python's Flying Circus" knowing nothing about either film. Hilarious evening. Sutherland was great.
