Donald Sutherland Passed Away

The long-time actor Donald Sutherland passed away on 6/20. Most young people will think of him as the head bad guy in The Hunger Games franchise. If he intimidates you, then good.

Donald Sutherland's own work

Such people might be surprised to know that before that, he was generally viewed as a nice guy. One hotel worker said he was very humble. He was so well-favored, for a long time his voice was used for a series of orange juice commercials.

I remember him most for his role in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). He was the protagonist, so the audience was supposed to be rooting for him. It’s not to everyone’s taste, but neither is The Hunger Games franchise.

So I was sad to hear of his passing. He was quite the actor.
