Donald does some great acting, but the last thing I read about him was an interview with Joss Whedon talking about how much of an a-hole he when making the Buffy:TVS movie.

I'll always remember him for his role in 1979's "Invasion of the body snatchers". Scared the crap out of me (especially the ending) when I was 10 years old.

I loved him in CITIZEN X.
D. Sutherland is a cool guy with a cool look. He's even cooler than his son.

I just think he's an awesome actor, and his derrogatory tone is outmatched!

One of the most underrated of actors.
One of Oscar's most egregious mistakes was not nominating him for Ordinary People. Timothy Hutton should have been in the Best Actor category, which he would not have won. Sutherland should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor which he should have won.

In the seventies he was in several of the best Horror/Suspense films of the decade:
Don't Look Now
Murder by Decree
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Blood Relatives
Don't Look Now
Murder by Decree
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

He was pretty good in Space Cowboys (2000) and he hasn't really been in much to be good in since then, although he does have several things coming out soon,
