The legendary actor leaves behind five children.

Actor Donald Sutherland died at age 88, his son announced on June 20.

“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” actor Kiefer Sutherland wrote on social media.

Donald Sutherland, a Canadian, acted in major films for decades, including M*A*S*H, The Italian Job, and The Hunger Games movies.

“I personally think [he’s] one of the most important actors in the history of film,” his son said. “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.”

Donald Sutherland leaves behind a number of family members, including five children and his wife, Francine Racette.

Donald Sutherland was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in the 1970s and remained in demand for film and TV projects into his 80s. Known for his unconventional looks and his versatility as an actor, he played a wide range of memorable characters.

These included a rascally Army surgeon in M*A*S*H, a quirky tank commander in Kelly’s Heroes, a stoned professor in Animal House, a local official facing an alien presence in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and a despairing father in Ordinary People.

“I wish I could say thank you to all of the characters that I’ve played, thank them for using their lives to inform my life,” Donald Sutherland said in his speech accepting an honorary Academy Award for lifetime achievement in 2017.

The tall actor was born on July 17, 1935, in Saint John, Canada, and was raised in Nova Scotia. He performed in school productions in college, went to Britain to hone his craft, then moved to the United States, where his first big break came as a member of a top-notch ensemble cast in the 1967 war film The Dirty Dozen.
