Donald Sutherland, the towering actor whose career spanned 'M.A.S.H.' to 'Hunger Games,' dies at 88

Kiefer Sutherland, the actor's son, confirmed his father's death Thursday. No further details were immediately available.

The tall and gaunt Canadian actor with a grin that could be sweet or diabolical was known for offbeat characters like Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman's "M.A.S.H.," the hippie tank commander in "Kelly's Heroes" and the stoned professor in "Animal House."

Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s .

Definitely one of the greats. Rest in peace.

He is going to be missed, that's for sure. He also played in Don't Look Now, as well as many, many more movies.

Bark at the pearly gates Oddball and chastise St Peter on those negative vibes!

RIP Donald.

I sw Klute recently and did not know he was in it. He did an amazing job. And I always loved him as Oddball in Kelly's Heros. Great ensemble cast in that.
