Someone else mentioned one of Sutherland’s best, the 1978 remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” but what about “Klute?” Every time I encounter it on TCM I can’t not watch.
But curious, Bruce, do you really think his main criteria for taking a role was just the cash? I’d call him a working actor—in it for the long haul. Sometimes you make a classic, sometimes you make a dud. But staying employed in the acting business long term can be difficult. Seems like an unnecessary dig that money was his driving force. Just my 2 cents. Scott MoPo List Owner From: MoPo List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2024 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] RIP Donald Sutherland RIP Donald Sutherland :( He was a superb Canadian actor from the 1960s to the present. While he gave wonderful performances in a number of movies, his main criteria for deciding to take a role seemed to be how much he was paid, because he appeared in lots of movies not worthy of his talents. Some of his movies include: JFK, MASH (as Hawkeye Pierce), Ordinary People, Dirty Dozen, Animal House, Don't Look Now, 1900, Cold Mountain, Kelly's Heroes, and The Hunger Games series (as President Snow). In 2015's "Forsaken", he played the father of his real life son, Kiefer Sutherland, who is also a wonderful actor, and in many ways has followed in his father's footsteps.
