Donald Sutherland, Don’t Look Now and Hunger Games actor, dies aged 88
The prolific actor appeared in more than 190 films and TV shows and was a vocal anti-war activist
A prolific actor who appeared in more than 190 films and TV shows, Sutherland embodied an off-kilter appeal that served him brilliantly in a series of classic 1970s movies, which gradually evolved into a veteran gravitas in the latter stages of his career. He then starred in Federico Fellini’s Casanova, played murderous fascist Attila Melanchini in Bernardo Bertolucci’s epic 1900, and featured alongside Michael Caine as a duplicitous IRA man in war thriller The Eagle Has Landed. He played a dope-smoking professor in National Lampoon’s Animal House, and fought “pod people” in a remake of horror-sci-fi Invasion of the Body Snatchers – giving rise to a popular gif of the film’s final moments.
