Donald Sutherland may have starred in the movie “Ordinary People,” but he was anything but ordinary — on and off the screen.
Sutherland died Thursday in Miami after a long illness at the age of 88, People reported.
Since news of his passing broke, friends and colleagues have posted tributes on social media.
Son Kiefer Sutherland posted on X, formerly Twitter about the impact his father made in the entertainment business.
“I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film,” Kiefer wrote. “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.”
The account for “The Hunger Games,” in which Sutherland starred, spoke of both the man and the actor on X.
“We asked the kindest man in the world to portray the most corrupt, ruthless dictator we’ve ever seen,” the post read. “Such was the power and skill of Donald Sutherland’s acting that he created one more indelible character among many others that defined his legendary career.”
