Sutherland appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows over a long career.
One of the most prolific actors of the last half century has died. Generations of movie and TV fans have knownfrom an eclectic mix of films and television series, playing roles ranging from tortured leading men to sardonic pot smokers. Sadly, Sutherland died on Thursday at the age of 88. His passing was confirmed by
The Canadian-born Sutherland studied drama in England, and made his earliest screen appearances in BBC and Hammer productions. His Hollywood breakthrough was his role in , one of the defining films of the early 1970s. This war film was a satire; set during the Korean War, it was intended as a spoof of the Vietnam War and military policy of the time, with Sutherland starring as Hawkeye Pierce, the latest addition to the team of doctors in an overworked and very rowdy MASH unit.
That feels like an impossible oversight; he surely is one of the best actors in history never to be nominated for an Oscar. But proper Academy Award recognition or not, the work he did will endure for years to come.Louis Gossett Jr.
