Hollywood is in mourning as it bids farewell to legendary actor Donald Sutherland, best known for his iconic roles in films such as 'M.A.S.H.', 'Klute,' and 'The Hunger Games'. The acting giant passed away on Thursday at the age of 88.
Tributes have poured in from across the globe. 'Donald was a giant, not only physically but as a talent. He was also enormously kind and generous. ... It's never easy losing the caliber of a human being and actor like Donald Sutherland, but this one really profoundly hurts because Donald was like my brother, and a big part of my own career,' said Sutherland's 'M.A.S.H.' co-star Elliott Gould in a heartfelt statement to The Associated Press.
Acclaimed director Ron Howard expressed his admiration on social media, stating, 'I was blessed to direct him in #Backdraft. One of the most intelligent, interesting & engrossing film actors of all time. Incredible range, creative courage & dedication to serving the story & the audience with supreme excellence.' Kiefer Sutherland, Donald's son, added a personal tribute. '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.'
