Donald Sutherland, 88, passed away. His acting career lasted six decades, during which he starred in critically acclaimed movies like M*A*S*H, The Hunger Games, and Don't Look Now.

One can never ask for more than that—he did what he loved and loved what he did. a life well-lived.

Actor Sutherland, who starred in over 190 movies and TV series, had a unique style that worked well for him in a number of iconic 1970s productions before transitioning into a more experienced look in the later years of his career. Although he was never nominated for a traditional Oscar and did not receive a major award for any of his film appearances, he did win two Golden Globes for best supporting actor for the television films Path to War (2003) and Citizen X (1996). In 2017, Sutherland won an Oscar honoris causa.

Sutherland, who was born in Canada in 1935, attended the University of Toronto to study engineering and drama before deciding to relocate to London in 1957 to enroll in an acting program at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (Lamda). Sutherland had a string of small parts in British TV series like Man of the World, The Saint, and The Avengers. He also starred in movies like the Hammer horror picture Fanatic and the Amicus anthology Dr. Terror's House of Horrors. In the action movie The Dirty Dozen, Sutherland played a prisoner preparing for a risky mission during World War II.

Following the success of The Dirty Dozen, Sutherland starred in two more war films with anti-heroic sensibilities: Kelly's Heroes, in which he plays a whacked-out tank commander who joins Clint Eastwood in a bank robbery, and the hugely influential Korean war comedy M*A*S*H, in which Sutherland plays rule-bending surgeon “Hawkeye” Pierce. (Sutherland said he "died for a few seconds" due to meningitis while filming the latter movie in 1968.)
