Celebrated actor from ‘M*A*S*H,’ ‘Hunger Games,’ dies at 88, son Kiefer announces

Donald Sutherland, the prolific actor who starred in such films as “M*A*S*H,” “Ordinary People” and “The Hunger Games,” has died at the age of 88, son Kiefer Sutherland revealed Thursday.

“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” Kiefer Sutherland wrote on X. “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.”

Sutherland, originally from Canada, rose to fame with a string of well-received roles in movies such as “The Dirty Dozen,” “M*A*S*H,’ and “Klute.” His resume in the 1970s also included appearances in cult films including “Don’t Look Now,” “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and “National Lampoon’s Animal House.”
