It's a distinct possibility...

Donald Sutherland, the beloved actor who starred in scores of films from The Dirty Dozen, MASH and Klute to Animal House and Ordinary People to Pride & Prejudice and The Hunger Games franchise and won an Emmy for Citizen X, died Thursday in Miami after a long illness. He was 88.
The 2017 Honorary Oscar recipient also is the father of Emmy-winning 24 and Designated Survivor actor Kiefer Sutherland and veteran CAA Media Finance exec Roeg Sutherland. CAA confirmed the news to Deadline.
I don’t think Hanoi Jane’s role was an act.
See what happens when I leave out stuff?!
On the baseball thread in post 13, I was going to include that as an analog to the Torah bookended by the bet and lamed, the internal letters of the word "baseball" = 88.

But I didn't, because you know how it never ends. It made me think of the DMC time machine, and of the Singing Cowboy, the owner of the Angels maybe not having enough rope to get up to 88.
"Where we're going we don't need rope."
It's like that house, a "bight".
What's around the bend? A curve ball?! Kris Krist-offer-son turns 88 the Day after Tomorrow.
Very first movie I saw Donald Sutherland end was the 1965 picture the Bedford incident with Richard Widmark. Still is chilling and compelling today as it was 60 years ago. Sutherland had a small role in the picture but I remember him well. I saw that picture when I was 10 years old and I’ve seen it several times since and each time it becomes even more frightening, particularly in light of what we have going on today.
All in all, Donald Sutherland was an excellent actor in just about anything he was in
Yes, he was Leftwing. But he was still a great actor. He was great in Ordinary People. I sometimes rewatch that just to see his performance.
Yes, that was a very well done 5 minutes.
That was a good and scary movie.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Sutherland.
He did what most liberals in Hollywood do... his "Designated Survivor" show was pretty much down the middle until about half-way through the season when viewers become hooked, then he started introducing the right-wing whacko supremacist stuff. The final season was a buffet of left-wing policy-making.

He was a lefty but I liked many of his films. The Eagle Has Landed and Invasion of the Snatchers are favorites of mine.
Rest in Peace.
Funny story I heard from the director’s commentary of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1978: Sutherland gave a young Jeff Goldblum a hard time during filming. He was always pushing Goldblum to do better. Always being critical. Goldblum asked why he was doing this, and Sutherland said Lee Marvin gave him a hard time during the making of The Dirty Dozen. He was just pushing him to be a better actor.
A very versatile actor. He was in some great movies and some mediocre movies, but I never saw him phone it in, and I always got the impression he tried to bring life to every character he played. My three favorites that come to mind were two he did with Eastwood, “Kelly’s Heroes,” and “Space Cowboys,” and his limited role in the the miniseries, “The Pillars of the Earth.”
I loved his acting. First saw him on a DVD - Dirty Dozen.
I saw him as a GOD AWFUL actor, at every level; verbally, visually and physically.
One of Canada’s worst to ever become a star. I hope they hated him as much as me.
How do you know she was playing?
It's a distinct possibility...
A leftist no doubt, but one helluva actor.
Unforgettable.
RIP
one of the all time great movie scenes: young, ignorant students worshiping at the feet of the older, grossly manipulative, cynical “professor” pretending/trying to be cool and worldly ... what makes this scene so great is because it’s so true!
He was a very good actor!
Always with the negative waves Moriarty
