A good age. RIP
How sad! He was a great character actor.
“Listen, I’m not joking! This is my JOB!” 
The man leaves behind a huge legacy of great performances, both leading and supporting, in many classics and recent films and TV shows, with a wide range of genres. But personally, I will always remember him best as The Clumsy Waiter.
Just did a rewatch of Kelly's Heroes the other day.
RIP

Damn. I think the first movies I saw him in were Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Animal House. Two completely different roles.
Yea and he was. A very memorable actor. May he rest in peace.
Rest in peace Mr. Sutherland. A class act.
He was definitely one of the greats, and very prolific.
Damn. Now I know why all of those classic GIFs were popping up in the Facebook GIF library.
He was one of the most versatile, wonderful, hilarious, sinister actors of his time. From M*A*S*H, Animal House, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers to the Hunger Games films, and everything else in between, he always grabbed my attention with just his eyes alone. And then he spoke...
Or pointed.
Rest in peace, Donald. Thank you for the decades of incredible films and shows.

Man, my dad loved that movie and that song. He'd rewind the VHS tape and play the theme over and over. It took years but I finally found the song on a "Super Hits of the 70s" compilation CD.
The most recent thing I've seen him in is the Lawmen: Bass Reeves series. Not a lot of screentime, but a lot of impact.
One of the finest actors of the last 60 years and by all accounts a fine man personally too. A unique onscreen presence, equally memorable as a leading man or supporting actor, as a bad guy or a goodie.
The original Hawkeye Pierce in M*A*S*H (1970) and Animal House are the first roles that come to my mind. He was in a 1974 movie called S*P*Y*S with Elliot Gould I might want to check out.
RIP to one of the greats.
RIP to one of the greats.
I only saw a few of Donald's movies, my favorites being Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the 2003 version of The Italian Job. But I still recognized his talent - he will be missed for sure.
