Canadian acting legend Donald Sutherland dies at 88, son Kiefer says

Jun 20, 2024 | 12:07 PM

New Brunswick-born acting legend Donald Sutherland has died at age 88.

His son Kiefer Sutherland announced the news in a social media post.

The elder Sutherland’s career spanned more than 50 years and ranged from the snarky surgeon Hawkeye Pierce in the film version of MASH to the fascist dictator President Snow in The Hunger Games franchise.

Sutherland also starred in the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice.

Though he was in over 100 films, Sutherland was never nominated for an Academy Award.
