Donald Sutherland dies: Five essential roles by the Canadian acting legend
One of Sutherland’s earliest breakout roles was in Robert Altman’s war comedy, «MASH.» He stood out with his portrayal of sardonic draftee surgeon Benjamin Franklin (Hawkeye) Pierce, who had a taste for pretty nurses, awful gin and cruel pranks. The role showcased his unique ability to blend irreverent humour and humanity, which not only captured the absurdity of war but became a trademark of his career.

Er spielte den brutalen Kommandeur genauso überzeugend wie den liebevollen Familienvater
Der grosse und hagere Sutherland war bekannt für schräge Rollen wie die des Hawkeye Piece in Robert Altmans Filmkomödie «M.A.S.H.» aus dem Jahr 1970, des Hippie-Panzerkommandanten im US-Kriegsfilm «Stosstrupp Gold» aus demselben Jahr und des bekifften Professors in «Ich glaub, mich tritt ein Pferd».
Später bewies er seine Vielseitigkeit mit Charakterrollen in Filmen wie «Eine ganz normale Familie» von Robert Redford und «JFK – Tatort Dallas» von Oliver Stone. Auch im Science-Fiction-Film «Die Tribute von Panem – The Hunger Games» wirkte er mit.

Er hatte das Zeug zum grössten Liebhaber überhaupt
Der Star aus «M*A*S*H» und «Don’t Look Now» gehörte zu Hollywoods herausragenden Charakterdarstellern.
Man muss seine Regisseure hochschätzen, wenn man die eigenen Kinder nach ihnen benennt. Alle vier Söhne von Donald Sutherland tragen die Namen von Filmemachern, mit denen er einmal zusammengearbeitet hat. Die Beziehung zu seinen Regisseuren hatte für Sutherland etwas Leidenschaftliches, Intimes, wie eine Affäre, die irgendwann, egal, wie gut man sich versteht, schmerzlich zu Ende geht.
