![Donald Sutherland has died at 88. Sutherland's agents say he died in Miami on Thursday after a long illness. The Canadian actor's career stretched from “M.A.S.H” to “JFK” to “The Hunger Games." He was known for offbeat characters and epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s. But over the decades, Sutherland shifted into a career as a respected character actor. He said he found more challenge in those roles. He never stopped working, ultimately appearing in nearly 200 films and series. He received an honorary Oscar in 2017.]( "Donald Sutherland has died at 88. Sutherland's agents say he died in Miami on Thursday after a long illness.
