Donald Sutherland's career spanned the 1960s to the 2020s, and he won a new generation of fans with his role as the villainous President Coriolanus Snow in the Hunger Games series.
The tall actor with a deep voice, piercing blue eyes and mischievous smile managed to switch effortlessly from character roles to romantic leads, opposite the likes of Jane Fonda and Julie Christie. He also played his share of oddballs and villains during a career that began in the 1960s. He won a new generation of fans with his glorious portrayal of a despotic president in The Hunger Games and its sequels.
He rocketed to fame three years later playing nonconformist surgeon Hawkeye Pierce in director Robert Altman’s Korean War satire M*A*S*H . The film - later spun off into a TV series - depicted hijinks at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, tapping into the anti-war sentiment among many Americans during the Vietnam War era.Also in 1970, Sutherland starred alongside Telly Savalas and Clint Eastwood in Kelly’s Heroes as Sergeant Oddball, on a mission to steal gold from the Nazis.
Sutherland’s performance in Ordinary People, Hollywood superstar Robert Redford’s directorial debut, helped the 1980 film win four Academy Awards including best picture. Sutherland starred alongside Mary Tyler Moore and Timothy Hutton in this exploration of the splintering of a Midwestern family.
