good actor - didn’t agree w/his politics at all.

RIP Donald, the Scots from whence you hatched will welcome you back, Your politics are regrettable.
You did make me laugh in Kelly’s Heroes:
Underrated in Eye of the Needle, which is a really good adaptation from book to screen.
I liked him in “Eye of the Needle” too. It is a 70s WWII thriller.
I always liked Steelyard Blues. Peter Boyle was very funny in that, and Donald Sutherland wasn’t bad. Jane Fonda played a whore.
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.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Sutherland.
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.
It's a distinct possibility...
He was a very good actor!
Rev. Dupas: First, let me state to you, Alfred, and to you, Patricia, that of the 200 marriages I have performed, all but seven have failed. So the odds are not good.
God speed. I always enjoyed his craft.
“Woof! Woof!”
