Donald Sutherland | Born: 1935

Donald Sutherland is known for movies and television shows like Pride & Prejudice, The Dirty Dozen, and The Hunger Games, to name a few. He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and eventually became one of Canada’s well-known actors. He experienced his initial exposure to acting during his studies at the University of Toronto, where he took up engineering. During his junior year, he starred in a small role in a student production of The Male Animal by Edward Albee.

After college, Sutherland moved to the United Kingdom to work at the Perth Repertory Theater in Scotland and also appeared on stage in London before venturing on his half-a-decade career. In 1963, he got a part in the British romantic drama The World Ten Times Over. But it took several years before he got his breakthrough in 1970 when he accepted the role in the classic war comedy M*A*S*H, where he portrayed the role of Hawkeye. Since then, Sutherland has catapulted to greater heights and achieved a great degree of success throughout his career.
