First time I saw him was in Kelly's Heroes. I felt like he was always kind of that character in every role; just a bit unhinged.
RIP Donald Sutherland

Oddball. Perfect name for his character in that movie. The cast in that movie is unreal.
The original Hawkeye Pierce. He was in a lot of incredible movies. RIP Legend.
Needed him on SPS to dispel the negative waves
I always picture him pretending to be a general in the dirty dozen. That’s what I saw him in first
Most famous for sharing a birthday with me.
i wasn't but like 8 years old and i was so mad that he stole Katy from Boone... im serious, i was maddd
And to his credit, worked making films until the end.
WTF were you doing watching Animal House at 8 years of age? Did your mother know what kind of child she was raisin?
they didn't see it... they even bought me the record... i was listening to Louie Louie and Shamalama Ding Dong in my room..
I agree, except in " Eye of the Needle." He was a great one in my book.
actually, to be honest i had a cousin who used to babysit me when my parents were gone... she was about 15 or 16 and she would let me watch movies... we watched Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke ,The Amityville Horror and The Exorcist which i was admittedly way to young for and kinda effd me up for awhile...
That movie was in my rotation as a kid too. The ladder scene w/John Belushi educated me quite a bit on the attractiveness of the female form.
he was great in this role.
and Ordinary People. Interesting casting with him and MTM but well done. Loved that movie. Great indeed across a wide range of roles. Kelly's Heroes, MASH, AH and that.
Any time someone is trying to take an "informal" group picture and taking forever on who's where, background, etc. I scream in my head JUST TAKE THE 17'ING PICTURE! Bunch of great lines in that movie.
"It's a mother beautiful bridge and it's gonna be there!"
He stayed in Jackson for a short time while doing a small role in A Time to Kill. Actually met him briefly in hotel lobby. A little aloof as you might expect, but friendly enough.
His son Keifer, who was a baddie in the movie, was in his full on wild *** days. I think he was a challenge for some of the hotel staff at times.
Both are fine actors. Donald never stopped getting roles. A full career.
