Donald Sutherland has died at 88.
“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” Kiefer Sutherland announced on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.
“I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. 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 award winning actor starred in a slew of hit movies such as “The Hunger Games,” “The Dirty Dozen,” and “Animal House.”
According to Deadline, he died on Thursday in Miami after a long illness.
Sutherland, who got an Honorary Oscar in 2017, was the father of Emmy-winning “24” actor Kiefer Sutherland, 57, and veteran CAA Media Finance exec Roeg Sutherland.
