Sutherland’s talent, kindness remembered in Hollywood and back home in Canada
A magnetic screen star whose chameleon-like penchant for unconventional characters would sustain him throughout a seldom-interrupted career, Sutherland starred in acclaimed titles of the 1970s and ’80s, including M*A*S*H, Klute, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Ordinary People.

His role as President Snow, the quietly sadistic antagonist in The Hunger Games franchise, made him a recognizable face among a new generation, as did his role in 2005’s Pride and Prejudice.

“When they showed me this stamp, I felt that everything had come together,” Sutherland told Q‘s Tom Power over Zoom. “I really wished that [my mother] could have seen me. You know, when you’re 88 years old — very nearly 89 — it means a lot, a stamp, because we grew up writing letters…. The stamp for me is everything, just everything!”
