MODERATORS
He was also in the Simpsons as the curator of the Jedidiah Springfield museum
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Vernon Pinkley in The Dirty Dozen (1967), anti-Establishment Army medic Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce in MAS*H (1970) and hippie tank commander Oddball in Kelly’s Heroes (1970), were rascally mavericks.
Taking a different tack, Sutherland was empathetic as a suburban Chicago lawyer trying to hold his family together in Robert Redford‘s Ordinary People (1980) and as a compassionate doctor in Richard Pearce’s Threshold (1981).
The nimble Sutherland also memorably played a man on the run in Philip Kaufman’s 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a pot-smoking professor in Animal House (1978), the French painter Paul Gauguin in The Wolf at the Door (1986) and a South African schoolteacher who changes his opinion about apartheid in A Dry White Season (1989).
His lengthly film résumé also included The Split (1968); Paul Mazursky‘s Alex in Wonderland (1970); Start the Revolution Without Me (1970); Little Murders (1971), in a reunion with Gould; John Schlesinger’s The Day of the Locust (1975), a mordant look at Hollywood; The Eagle Has Landed (1976); Bernardo Bertolucci‘s 1900 (1976); The Eye of the Needle (1981); Max Dugan Returns (1983); Oliver Stone‘s JFK (1991); A Time to Kill (1996); as track coach Bill Bowerman in Without Limits (1998); Clint Eastwood‘s Space Cowboys (2000); a remake of Pride & Prejudice (2005); American Gun (2005); Ask the Dust (2006); Man on the Train (2011); The Leisure Seeker (2017); and The Burnt Orange Heresy (2020).
He received a Globe for playing Lyndon Johnson’s Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford in the 2002 HBO miniseries Path to War and starred as an insidious Speaker of the House opposite Geena Davis as the U.S. president in the 2005-06 ABC drama Commander in Chief.
More recently, Sutherland found regular TV work on Dirty Sexy Money, The Pillars of the Earth, Crossing Lines, Ice, Trust (playing J. Paul Getty), The Undoing and Lawman: Bass Reeves.
The original article contains 1,669 words, the summary contains 308 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I saw "Don't Look Now" much too early in life. His pasty white ass fucked me up for good.
The rest of the movie fucked me up a bit too I guess.
