Goodbye Oddball: Donald Sutherland, RIP.

[ProfessorWes]

Too many good film and TV roles to list, from The Dirty Dozen to Hunger Games. Thanks for the memories, sir.

Update: Kiefer Sutherland might be a little bit biased . . . but his father was certainly one of the greatest actors of his generation.

he relished in the "odd roles" he played. he seemed to know and stayed his lane, self awareness at is best. he was one of the greats..

Sorry to hear this I remember him most for his main role in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I liked him in everything he did.

Rest in peace, Donald...

A true American Icon , Can't remember the movie title, but he starred in it with Mary Tyler Moore from the 80's . One of my favs, along with Kelly's Hero's.

"Ordinary People" from 1980; directed by Robert Redford (directing debut and he won the Oscar for best director). Also made Pachelbel's Cannon in D a mainstream piece. Saw it when it came out; haven't since.

Great entertainer and showman. Not many like him anymore.

When we were in Normandy recently I was telling my nephew about a great fictional book and very good movie relating the Normandy Calais tomfoolery the Allies did and how it was almost uncovered, The Eye of the Needle. He never heard of it and recommend to them to read and or watch it. It starred Donald Sutherland as the German spy who uncovered the plot.

So thoroughly enjoyed so many of his roles, Oddball and Trapper John probably my favorites.

I also liked everything he was in. I just watched The Eye of the Needle, Klute, and a few others. Great movies.
Oddball "Always with the negative waves, Moriarty, always with the negative waves. Oddball "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves. Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"

Had some good roles. Oddball was the best.

Powerful performances by both actors. It was a very heavy movie. Also made Pachelbel's Canon in D my go-to when I need peace. RIP Hawkeye.
