“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland’s son, wrote in a post on Instagram 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.”

Tall and known for his intensity on screen, Sutherland earned an Emmy for his role as a Soviet official in the fact-based HBO movie Citizen X, as well as a pair of Golden Globes.

His career spanned more than 50 years and 140 film credits, including recent roles in the limited series Trust as oil tycoon J Paul Getty and HBO’s The Undoing.

Sutherland’s big break came when he was cast as one of The Dirty Dozen in the star-studded 1967 film, which became a major hit.

He followed that with another war movie, Kelly’s Heroes, before playing the wisecracking doctor Hawkeye Pierce in the movie version of M*A*S*H and opposite Jane Fonda in her Oscar-winning portrayal of a high-class “call girl” in the crime mystery Klute. Fonda and Sutherland also had an off-screen relationship around the time that they made the film.
