one of my favorite movies, Kelly's Heroes. All star cast in that film
RIP..So many different roles over the years
His role in Invasion of the Body Snatchers stands out for me

A lot of people remember him for Body Snatchers. I thought he was great in Ordinary People. Don't forget his cameo role as the serial arsonist in Backdraft.
I remember him from Animal House, the prof doinking co-ed Katy (Karen Allen).
Donald Sutherland as "Oddball" in Kelly's Heroes
American GI's discover a French vault with millions in gold but have to - illegally - divert from fighting the Germans in war - and instead fight through the German defense to reach the French bank. John Landis was a gopher in the filming of the movie and wanted to become a director. Sutherland promised he would be in every Landis movie until he became famous. That's why he appears in "Kentucky Fried Movie" and "Animal House."

fk him and as he was pals with Hanoi jane and wanted to restrict the rights of Americans.
That's a huge ask.
Probably me. I prematurely killed off a couple of celebs last year, notably Bull from Night Court and Lawrence from Office Space. Bull did eventually pass away but I swear I had nothing to do with it.
First we have a post about the son of a famous father and now we have a post about the father of a famous celebrity. Stay strong Kiefer.
Great actor with great range. My favorite performances of his were probably in M*A*SH, Klute, Ordinary People and Eye of the Needle.
Kind of an odd take. While I wasn't a fan and don't know a whole lot about him, Donald did make a name for himself as an actor. Sounds like you might have a Kiefer Krush.
Donald is way more recognized and accomplished than Kiefer
One of the best final movie scenes next to the original Planet of the Apes.Great Actor.....will be missed.
Oh boy. It was a joke as people complained about the son of Pete Maravich getting a death post.
Beerfest.Donald was in like a hundred movies....Guess this movie.
Hot Take 2. Vaguely knew who he was, but thought he was great in Animal House. Was not familiar with any of his other work.
Man these deaths I grew up with have my timer ticking..
I also worked for a Rutgers Prof. Dept. of Entomology Cook College named Donald Sutherland. Headley Research Labs. Late 70s - early 80s.

Donald Sutherland Missed Out on a Big Animal House Payday
Universal offered Sutherland $25,000 a day for two days of work or two percent of the film's gross. Presuming the movie wouldn't be a big hit (and he wasn't the only one), Sutherland took the guaranteed cash. That decision, in the end, would cost him roughly $14 million.
