He was a unique figure, someone who made himself known regardless of how small or large his part was. Besides his Hollywood work, he was also strongly active in the film industry of his native Canada, appearing in several films there (most notably the title role in a biopic of Canadian born, Chinese based physician Dr. Norman Bethune). And he earned nearly every award he got...
...but not an Academy Award- not even a nomination....
I’m honestly shocked I was able to get this out with ease, but couldn’t bring myself to whip up a Willie Mays obituary. I might still have a way but a lot has piled up. I published a version of this Sutherland obit over at What’s On Paramount+ that was much more themed to the publication because of his Bass Reeves role (and Kiefer being on Rabbit Hole)
Earned it.
Wow. This is legendary news. There are very few celebrities that I'd be moved if they passed and he's in top 10.
Just wow. He had an epically good run.
