Donald Sutherland has died at 88

The star of films including The Hunger Games and Animal House has died after a long illness.

One of the Canadian actor's breakout roles was as Hawkeye Pierce, a surgeon in the 1970 film version of MASH, a comedy about medics in the Korean War. Yet he was on more restrained form in 1971's Klute, playing a detective whose hunt for a missing person is assisted by a high-priced call girl. The 1970s also saw him play an IRA member in The Eagle Has Landed, a pot-smoking college professor in National Lampoon's Animal House, and the lead in the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
