One of my favourite actors, for me the best picture he made was "The Eagle has Landed" c/w the lovely Jenny Agutter and the wonderful Donald Pleasence.

Great actor. I loved it when Kate Bush got him to be in the Cloudbusting video.

RIP, a great actor & quite an ugly bloke who squired many a hot lady. A life well lived!

I always think of him in Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Predictably, no mention in the Guardian obit that Sutherland, at the height of the Vietnam war, undertook (with Jane Fonda) a ‘F*ck The Army’ tour, denouncing the slaughter in Indo-China and demonstrating solidarity with draft resisters. Rest In Power.

Donald Sutherland was an irreplaceable aristocrat of cinema | Peter Bradshaw

The late actor was a commanding and versatile presence on the big screen, perfecting everything from villainy to sensuality in films such as Don’t Look Now and Klute

One of my all time favourite actors. Huge contribution to everything he played in, and by all accounts a thoroughly decent person too. Sad loss RIP.

One of the greats, from MASH to probably one of his final roles in the TV series Bass Reeves, RIP

His hippie character in Kelly's Heroes was a little nod in that direction too.
