RIP OddBall. —— Don’t hit me with them negative vibes so early in the morning.
Always thought that Sutherland's acting style could most accurately be described as "mildly stoned"...
Just a fantastic actor. I loved him in a lot of movies. One of his last performances was his greatest. "A Time to kill"
I was reading a long obit in the WaPo, they apparently had it written already, and they mentioned that in the Dirty Dozen Sutherland was not the original choice to impersonate a general. It was one of the non white actors, and the director decided to not risk a non white impersonating the general. So, he looked at the crew in the back of the truck and called “Big Ears”, down to do the scene. Sutherland was so unknown at the time the director didn’t really know his name.
Very good actor. Probably still regrets the Animal House deal …
'Animal House' mistake cost Donald Sutherland millions in profits
Donald Sutherland refused a portion of the profits when negotiating for his "Animal House" role, instead accepting a flat fee. It made $141 million.

I don't think he died poor.

He was the dad in the movie Ordinary People. Great movie.
It was in the WaPo obit that he sat for hours and drank beer in Beerfest. He refused to use a mechanical siphon and insisted on the method acting style. He was a beer drinker so dammit he was going to drink beer!
One of my mentors used to refer to us as the Pros from Dover when we would visit clients.
Great actor with wide range and always good too.
Also his role as the Jebediah Springfield Museum Curator in The Simpson was great.

Agree. I always thought he was just one cool dude.
RIP
Love this seen. It’s the perfect portrayal of how taboo marijuana was at one time. And obviously one of the greatest comedies of all time.RIP
His performance in Pride and Prejudice (95) was
awesome. Not a guy’s movie but he was excellent.

One of my favorite scenes of his was this one from JFK:
