DONALD
SUTHERLAND plays Ronald Shorter
Donald Sutherland is one of the most
prolific and versatile of motion picture actors, with an astonishing
resume of more than one hundred films, ranging from the biting
political satire of Robert Altman's M.A.S.H. to the intimate drama of
Robert Redford's ORDINARY PEOPLE to the subtle intricacy of Alan
Pakula's KLUTE to the eccentric romanticism of Fellini's CASANOVA.
Sutherland has made films with Bernardo Bertolucci (1900), Nicolas Roeg
(DON'T LOOK NOW), John Schlesinger (THE DAY OF THE LOCUST), Paul
Mazursky (ALEX IN WONDERLAND), Robert Aldrich (THE DIRTY DOZEN), John
Sturges (THE EAGLE HAS LANDED), Herbert Ross (MAX DUGAN RETURNS), Louis
Malle (CRACKERS), Philip Borsos (BETHUNE), Ron Howard (BACKDRAFT),
Richard Marquand (EYE OF THE NEEDLE), Euzhan Palcy (A DRY WHITE
SEASON), Richard Pearce (THRESHOLD, for which he won the 1983 Genie
Award as Best Actor), Oliver Stone (JFK), Robert Towne (WITHOUT
LIMITS), Clint Eastwood (SPACE COWBOYS), the film adaptation of John
Guare's SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION.
In recent years, Sutherland appeared in Anthony Minghella's COLD
MOUNTAIN and F. Gary Gray's THE ITALIAN JOB. He was most recently seen
in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, FIERCE PEOPLE, ASK THE DUST, and in AMERICAN
GUN.
For television, he won Emmy and Golden Globe awards for his supporting
performance in HBO film CITIZEN X. He also won a Golden Globe for his
portrayal of Clark Clifford, advisor to President Lyndon B. Johnson, in
PATH TO WAR, directed by the late John Frankenheimer. |
