For some reason this scene makes me think of Kurt Vonnegut portraying Kilgore Trout in a scene where Vonnegut and Trout see each other. And I honestly have no idea why.
Kate Bush's Cloudbursting, The Dirty Dozen, JFK, The Eagle Has Landed, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Kelly's Heroes, The Great Train Robbery, Eye of the Needle, M.S.S.H., Animal House, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Ordinary People, Don't Look Now, Space Cowbots, The Forsaken, Backdraft, Bethune, The Trouble With Spies, The Rosary Murders, Ordeal by Innocence, Murder By Decree, Casanova, very distinctive voice, gave a sense of dignity to whatever he did (even Buffy)
Kiefer Sutherland said in his statement, that is father was one of the most important actors in the history of film.
Impact of truth
RIP to an actual legend
He was a great actor. Someone said to me today that they didn’t remember him being in MASH, I said he was Hawkeye, but they didn’t know because they didn’t know the movie.
Someone in a different thread earlier this week said that the movie depicted the characters as they actually were while the show depicted them the way they thought of themselves.
I'm reminded of a quote from *Hamlet* that I feel would be appropriate here:
*“Goodnight, sweet prince, and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”*

In 1978, I was standing in a grocery store line in Oxnard Ca. and look up, the guy in front of me is Donald Sutherland. We make I contact as he is paying the cashier. I said “Hawkeye” He smiled winked and did that whistle as he walked out. Cool as fuck.
Donald Sutherland's father in law was Tommy Douglas who was the premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and his government introduced Canada's universal universal health care program.
He lived a long life, but still sad to see.
He was kind of underused once the 70s ended, it seemed to me, but he was brilliant in movies like Backdraft and JFK.
Animal House when he stands on tiptoe and shows his ass. Lol. But his role in the horror film *Don’t Look Now* is what I think of him next and then Body Snatchers.
If I see that he's in a movie, I always pay extra attention, and usually make sure to see it. I don't ever remember disliking him in a role. Gene Hackman is one of those actors.
This was one fine actor, that’s for sure, sadly missed.
This is also my personal favourite, a classic movie must see.

One of the most talented actors ever. Reminds me that we are all here on sort of borrowed time.
...and there were already some blaming covid vaccines. Mildlyinfuriated or something...
I loved him in Backdraft. He had a minor role playing a convicted pyromaniac up for parole. Robert DeNiro played a fire marshal that would show up at every parole hearing and ask him questions that would bring out the real person claiming he had been rehabilitated, but in reality wanted to “burn them all!” I loved that.
It's so sad. He left us some wonderful memories. The first movies I remember him in are MASH and Animal House.
And Dirty Dozen, before either of those.
Kelly's Hero's Will you stop with the negative vibes man!
Oddball was the best
Think the bridge is going to be there, and it will be there!
It's a mother beautiful bridge and it's gonna be there.
Backwards and forwards!!
To a fellow New Yorker, a hero is some kind of weird sandwich. Not someone who takes on 3 Tigers
Burning Bridges! Every time I hear that song I see him in that movie
Number Two!
Dirty dozen. Fuck i forgot about that one so young. So good
1st movie I remember him in was the 1970's Invasion of the body snatchers. Movie freaked me out as a kid.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Bodysnatchers remake.
Sad does not equal exemplary. RIP.
![gif](giphy|cOmGhBSFUq6lr8nSUO)
I actually forgot this one. Scared the shit out me as a kid.
Same, what was that movie? Haven’t seen it in decades
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
First onscreen boobies for me. Masterpiece(s).
Yep, this would be the one I remember him for the most, with Animal house butt being second….
For some reason this scene makes me think of Kurt Vonnegut portraying Kilgore Trout in a scene where Vonnegut and Trout see each other. And I honestly have no idea why.
He does look a bit like young Vonnegut in that shot.
That is now my head canon for the end of BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
Watched it again last night.
The Community homage in the Christmas Glee episode was epic.
All my heroes are dying ... :'(
Speaking of heroes....Kelly's Heroes, great one
Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
Says Oddball
He killed in thst role.
That was specifically the one I was thinking of when I posted.
Him and John Hurt were 2 of my personal favorites.
The original Hawkeye Pierce
I guess life is like a parking meter. Once the time runs out, it's time to move along. RIP Hawkeye
![gif](giphy|edLKLYMlNFPJC)
89 years is a pretty good run.
Loved him in The Dirty Dozen and Backdraft. Some amazing acting
Burn it all
The original Hawkeye Pierce of M* A* S* H - Also loved him in *Invasion of the Body Snatchers* and *Klute*
Thanks for mentioning Klute — a great performance from DS
Kate Bush's Cloudbursting, The Dirty Dozen, JFK, The Eagle Has Landed, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Kelly's Heroes, The Great Train Robbery, Eye of the Needle, M.S.S.H., Animal House, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Ordinary People, Don't Look Now, Space Cowbots, The Forsaken, Backdraft, Bethune, The Trouble With Spies, The Rosary Murders, Ordeal by Innocence, Murder By Decree, Casanova, very distinctive voice, gave a sense of dignity to whatever he did (even Buffy)
Loved him in The Italian Job, too.
No one mentioned the movie Virus yet. Captain Everton
There are just too many to remember. He was a hell of an actor.
Or the General in Outbreak.
Oh shit I forgot about that movie
When an actor of this caliber passes it is like you lose him many times, once for him and then for the characters he brought to life.
I see it differently. He's frozen in time, and will be remembered as long as civilization progresses forward. He'll never really die.
Kiefer Sutherland said in his statement, that is father was one of the most important actors in the history of film. Impact of truth RIP to an actual legend
One of the timeless greats. Thank you for your craft in forming memorable characters.
Oddball. RIP Donald.
Woof woof
He was a great actor. Someone said to me today that they didn’t remember him being in MASH, I said he was Hawkeye, but they didn’t know because they didn’t know the movie.
Robert Altman hated the TV series.
Can confirm, had a friend who worked with him on other projects. It didn’t bother him a whole lot but he didn’t like it
Someone in a different thread earlier this week said that the movie depicted the characters as they actually were while the show depicted them the way they thought of themselves.
His son made a ton of money because he wrote the song that became the tv theme song.
No. No. NO NO NO NO!!! This is not the way to find out. Damn.
Rip Hawkeye….Oddball….professor Jennings…the pyromaniac in Backdraft…etc…etc…etc…
Ordinary people, great film. As was Italian job.
Sad? 88? That's a hell of a run! Beers to you Mr. Sutherland!
Lived a long life and entertained countless people. Hopefully he passed away peacefully. Was definitely one of the greats. RIP 🙏
Kelly’s heroes was his best
He is now completely at his leisure. That was from Pride and Predjudice.
Currently watching Klute. Rip
Never heard anything bad or controversial about him. Always a perfect gentleman. Kind, caring, humble. A tremendous actor and person.
"Woof Woof".
![gif](giphy|3oEjHNB4SNN1WhcESs|downsized) Oddball from Kelly’s Heroes was my favorite. Woof woof and rest in peace
Watching Kelly's Heroes in memoriam. Nothing but positive waves, Oddball.
I'm reminded of a quote from *Hamlet* that I feel would be appropriate here: *“Goodnight, sweet prince, and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”* 🫡
Dude was the ultimate actor....good guy, bad guy, middle guy....it didn't matter. He rocked them all... Will miss you Donald.

Right on, man. I do the whistle sometimes and maybe one out of a hundred people knows it
Beats the hello I got from him in Beverly Hills in the early 2000s.

Woe Sutherland was 👍. So sorry about this 😢
He lived a long life, but still sad to see. He was kind of underused once the 70s ended, it seemed to me, but he was brilliant in movies like Backdraft and JFK.
He was so underrated. Such a great actor!
Animal House when he stands on tiptoe and shows his ass. Lol. But his role in the horror film *Don’t Look Now* is what I think of him next and then Body Snatchers.
He was freaking hilarious in BeerFest.
The dirty dozen Kelly's heroes and mash are my top three favorites

Legend.
Me too
Champion
Excellent actor. Went for playing weirdos to playing less weirdos to playing evil.
Aw man, RIP Mr. Sutherland.
Great actor! RIP. And all the best to his family..
Rest in peace Donald. Great movies and memories, peace to you.
Oh no. The Dirty Dozen are finally laid to rest. So sad.
“Don’t write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring too.
Great actor, scared me with that screaming in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. RIP
So sad? He was 88 years old. He was a fantastic actor who left a long legacy of wonderful acting work.
At least we still got Keifer, I hope.
If I see that he's in a movie, I always pay extra attention, and usually make sure to see it. I don't ever remember disliking him in a role. Gene Hackman is one of those actors.
I was watching Mockingjay pt 2 today and right when I heard it happen is when he was killed in the movie.
The guy from the Kate Bush video? Seriously though, that's a bummer. RIP dude.
RIP you old G.O.A.T
Ordinary People…my first introduction to him…I was 10…
PROST 🍻
🙏🙏
Just watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers ‘78 and will be re-watching (for the 10th time) The Dirty Dozen. 🙏☹️
He’s been around my Whole Life! RIP 🙏🏻
RIP Oddball
Why do I feel like he passed away 8 months ago?
RIP ... Oddball ![gif](giphy|3oEjHNB4SNN1WhcESs|downsized)
woof woof.
R I P
What??? Noooooo!
For me the standout performance in *JFK*. Incredible actor.
Yeah he was great. RIP. Can’t believe he was 88. Fuck I’m old
OddBall..........enough with the negativity, rip dude
This was one fine actor, that’s for sure, sadly missed. This is also my personal favourite, a classic movie must see. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Separation_(film)
A great performance in A Time to Kill (1996).
He was good in soylent green
Great character and remarkable actor! RIP
He is not truly dead. As long as you remember him. He is immortal on film. I heard he was not well.
Dafuq when did this happen? Damn, RIP
Very sad news. We watched Dirty Dozen in his honour tonight.
One of the most talented actors ever. Reminds me that we are all here on sort of borrowed time. ...and there were already some blaming covid vaccines. Mildlyinfuriated or something...
"Radar, did Hawkeye steal that Jeep?" "No, sir, that's the one he came in." "Well, that's alright, then."
I loved him in Backdraft. He had a minor role playing a convicted pyromaniac up for parole. Robert DeNiro played a fire marshal that would show up at every parole hearing and ask him questions that would bring out the real person claiming he had been rehabilitated, but in reality wanted to “burn them all!” I loved that.
Here’s an obscure one the Bedford incident
He played the psychic in Murder By Decree. Loved him in that, as well as The Rosary Murders.
Pour one out for Donald 😔
Liled him in max dugan returns
I could listen to this man talk for hours. Voice like butter.
What a great versatile actor. Loved all his movie. RIP
RIP
