HuffPost
Sutherland died Thursday after a long illness, leaving behind a legacy of indelible performances and anti-war activism.
Donald Sutherland, who died Thursday at age 88 following a long illness, has received widespread tributes from fellow actors, Oscar-winning filmmakers and President Joe Biden himself.
Sutherland’s lifelong friend, actor Elliott Gould, vowed to “never forget” him.
“It’s never easy, losing the caliber of a human being and actor like Donald Sutherland, but this one really profoundly hurts because Donald was like my brother, and a big part of my own career,” Gould wrote on Instagram.
“Rest in peace, you, dear, dear Kind friend,” he wrote. “I love you and I will never forget you.”
Kiefer Sutherland confirmed his father’s death on social media Thursday and has since thanked the public for their thoughts. His physically and artistically towering father, who earned an honorary Oscar in 2017, was perhaps most notably mourned by the sitting U.S. president.
