Famous fans, colleagues and family paid tribute to actor Donald Sutherland, star of “MASH”, “Klute” and “The Hunger Games”, who has died at the age of 88.
“I had the privilege of directing him in #Backdraft. One of the most intelligent, interesting and entertaining film actors of all time. Incredible range, creative courage and dedication to serving the story and the audience with the highest excellence.” – Ron Howard, on X.
“Donald Sutherland was one of the most intelligent actors I ever worked with. He had an amazingly inquisitive mind, and was enormously knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects. He combined this great intelligence with a deep sensitivity and a seriousness about his profession as an actor. All of this made him a legend of the film world.” – Actress Helen Mirren, who co-starred with Sutherland in 2017’s “The Leisure Seekers,” said in a statement.
“It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally consider him one of the most important actors in the history of film. He was never afraid of any role, whether it was good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and he loved doing what he loved, and no one can ask for more than that. A life well lived.” — Actor and Sutherland’s son, Kiefer Sutherland, on X.
“He starred in two of my favorite and most influential films – ‘Don’t Look Now’ and 1978’s ‘Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.’ But that’s just a glimpse into the context of his great filmography. He was a funny, understated, but also intense and dramatic presence in many memorable films.” – Director Edgar Wright, on Instagram.
“Oh, man. Goodbye, Donald Sutherland.” — Actor Elijah Wood on X.
“We lost a legend, a veteran actor who created unique and believable characters every time he stepped in front of the camera.” — Jon Cassar, who directed both Donald and Kiefer Sutherland in 2015’s “Forsaken,” via X.
