‘Murder In A Small Town’ Starring Rossif Sutherland Will Be Dedicated To His Late Dad Donald: The Touching Story Behind Duo’s Link To Fox Series
Fox's Murder in a Small Town star Rossif Sutherland reveals for the first time his late father Donald Sutherland's unique connection to the show.
Rossif was actually scheduled to do voice-over (ADR) work for the show from Miami on the day his father died — one of several elements that tie the two men to Murder In a Small Town, a passion project of Donald’s for 30 years. That is how, almost three decades later, the two-hour script, with Sutherland still interested in playing the curmudgeonly George, got to former USA Network president Wachtel when he was launching his production company Future Shack two years ago. His father didn’t give him notes on how to play his role in Murder In a Small Town, though the two were chatting during filming, with Donald calling him to find out how the work was going until he fell quite ill by the halfway point of production.
