Donald Sutherland has passed away after a long illness.

Talk about a resume, spanning decades, he played every kind of part imaginable.

Off the top of my head:

Kelly's Heroes
The Dirty Dozen
Klute
MASH
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Animal House
Ordinary People
Max Dugan Returns
The Puppet Masters
Backdraft
The Hunger Games

etc, etc, etc....

What a great actor; a guy who was good all the way through his career. Just saw him in last year's BASS REEVES where he was his usual good self. He was so good that he was able to play English roles, a rarity for American actors. His range was pretty much endless.

But he was probably at his best in INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS where he was at the peak of his powers, both charming and comedic while also somehow being deadly serious. He was in many ways the perfect leading man for the '70's - sensitive, but not weak. A perfect Hawkeye Pierce in other words.

RIP

"This is my job!"
