RIP Mr Sutherland so many good roles, The dirty dozen, Animal House, Kellys Heros, mash, Klute to name just a few

Can’t believe that MASH wasn’t mentioned - a ridiculously well-cast movie and progenitor of arguably the most popular TV show of all time.

Great role in JFK. Only one scene, but was captivating.

Eye of the needle.

You're getting old? You realize that you're talking to guys from the classes of the 50s, 60s and 70s.

I grew up on MASH the TV series every week. It was a big part of my upbringing, and as an adult, I appreciate its uncanny mixture of comedy and tragedy. There are few TV shows that can top it.

I went back and watched the movie. And while I usually love Robert Altman flicks, it was just way too absurd, too counter-culture and too far from the reality of war to make me appreciate it. It's one of those movies I just don't get. Way too metaphorical, allegorical with Vietnam on everyone's mind.

I mean the TV series ends with Hawkeye battling PTSD from a baby being killed. The movie ends with a freakin football game.

Anyway, RIP Donald Sutherland.

DS was a much better Hawkeye than AA IMO

"Don't Look Now" was a mostly dark film, set in Venice, with Sutherland and Julie Christie.

My favorite DS moment: playing a serial arsonist in "Backdraft" - chilling dialogue with DeNiro grilling him in front of the parole board. Lasted all of 10 minutes and was the best part of the film.
