Donald Sutherland has died. Was a great actor.

Chopper. Agreed. ' Eye of the Needle' was a cracking read and more than decent film.

"Yes, he was good in The Eye of the Needle. Good film of a good Follet book."

"Manuel 9:39 Sat Jun 22 My fav role of his was as Sarge Oddball (woof) in Kelly's Heroes... one of the greatest comedy performances for me... Oddball : [looking at aerial pics of the a remaining bridge] Beautiful. Moriarty : suppose the bridge ain't there? Oddball : [groans] Don't hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning. Think the bridge will be there and it will be there. It's a mother, beautiful bridge, and it's gonna be there. Ok? Oddball : [Later: Oddball is looking through binoculars at the bridge] Still up! Oddball : [planes fly and bomb the bridge] ... No it ain't. See what sending out them negative waves did, Moriarty? Moriarty : That ain't my fault, Oddball, I've done nothing but have good thoughts about that damn bridge ever since we left!"

In that Wogan interview he says you struggled because directors thought you were too tall & gangly to play the hero & then Fellini cast you as Casanova. How did that happen ? Donald Sutherland: ‚ÄòHe was obviously a man of great insight‚Äô ?ü§£

Manuel 9:39 He wouldn't have lived this long had he lived next door to me. ?ü§£?ü§£?ü§£?üëã

"He wouldn't have lived this long had he lived next door to me. A very talented but serious actor, see Marlon Brando, Kirk Douglas etc, doubt he did any rom com."

Had a unique style & look There is a Wogan clip from BBC archive on Facebook where he tells the story of doing a great audition for a part & the producers & director tell him that he was brilliant But they see the character as more of the bloke next door sort …. and they don’t think he looks like he has ever lived next door to ANYONE

"I always think of him in The Eagle Has Landed. Devlin, or something."

"Was never my cup of tea, seemed to have a permanent scowl on his chevy, prefer the son KEITH."

Invasion of the body snatchers my personal favorite of his. RIP Donald

Lock up with Stallone

"Very sad, he knocked the socks off most of today's actors. I loved Klute with a very sexy Jane Fonda Don't Look Now scared the pants off me! RIP Donald"

""""" As they say in Corsica - Goodbye ! "" (Start The Revolution Without Me ) RIP"

Don't Look Now.

The Eagle has Landed.

Good guy. Bad guy. Or somewhere in between. He was always worth a watch. So many great roles to pick.? That JFK might shade it. But I always think of Sergeant Oddball from Kelly Hero’s and grin. RIP Donald.

"Great actor, so many good films. Anyone see 'Eye of the Needle' RIP."

M*A*S*H and Animal House Proper actor! RIP

RIP to a real actor. Excellent in the fabulous Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and his monologue in JFK was class.
