Actor Donald Sutherland has died at age 88.
Kiefer Sutherland, son of Donald, paid tribute to his father on social media in a touching post,writing: “With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.”
“Today we lost one of our greatest actors, Donald Sutherland,“wroteactor Rob Lowe. “It was my honor to work with him many years ago, and I will never forget his charisma and ability. If you want a master class in acting, watch him in Ordinary People. My condolences to Kiefer.”
“#RIPDonaldSutherland. I was blessed to direct him in #Backdraft,” Ron Howardwrote. “One of the most intelligent, interesting and engrossing film actors of all time. Incredible range, creative courage and dedication to serving the story and the audience with supreme excellence.”
Sutherland most recently reprised his role as Coriolanus Snow inThe Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and had recently completed filming Heart Land, which will be released posthumously.
