RIP Donald, the Scots from whence you hatched will welcome you back, Your politics are regrettable.

I don’t know.

Donald Sutherland was an activist.

He wrote columns for Huffington Post. Here’s one.

Underrated in Eye of the Needle, which is a really good adaptation from book to screen.

Oh no, not Oddball! Well, he did have the element of surprise.

He took on three Tigers!

The tora of the title, although literally meaning "tiger", is actually an abbreviation of a two-syllable codeword (i.e., totsugeki raigeki 突撃雷撃, "lightning attack"), used to indicate that complete surprise had been achieved.[4]

He was woefully miscast in Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Bennet is supposed to be spry and humorous - the biggest influence on Elizabeth’s personality - but Sutherland played him as a worn out old man.

I liked him in “Eye of the Needle” too. It is a 70s WWII thriller.

Yes. I always liked his acting. Oddly enough, just watched “The Eagle Has Landed” the night before last.

One of his best roles was as Col. Fletcher Prouty in the movie JFK - there is a five minute segment in which he explains key parts of the conspiracy to kill the President and it is wonderfully acted.

I always liked Steelyard Blues. Peter Boyle was very funny in that, and Donald Sutherland wasn’t bad. Jane Fonda played a whore.
