Hollywood is mourning a huge loss.
Donald Sutherland, whose acting career spanned over seven decades, has died following a long illness, his son and fellow actor Kiefer Sutherland confirmed. He was 88.
“I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film,” Kiefer wrote of his father in a June 20 Instagram post, over a black and white image of the two from the 24 alum’s childhood. “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.”
Though Kiefer didn’t share a cause of death, Deadline reports Donald passed away after a long illness. E! News is out reps for both the father and son but has not yet heard back.
Across his many years in Hollywood, Donald—who was also father to CAA Media Finance executive Roeg Sutherland—became a critically acclaimed actor for roles in television and movies, earning numerous accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe for Citizen X in 1995, a Golden Globe for Path to War in 2002, and a Critics Choice Award in 2020 for The Undoing.
