About this video
Today many may know him as Kiefer Sutherland’s dad, or the rich voice behind the 2010 CTV Olympic vignettes, but Donald Sutherland is a Golden Globe, Emmy and Genie Award winner with a career spanning close to 50 years.
He starred with Julie Christie in Don’t Look Now, and as "Hawkeye Pierce" in the feature MASH. He’s lent his voice to The Simpsons and starred in the recent series Dirty Sexy Money.
In part one of this 1981 CityLights interview Donald Sutherland talks to Brian Linehan about his film Eye of the Needle, having seven starring roles in less than three years; characters he is attracted to and characters he has played; gaining weight for a role; and if he would do another MASH movie.
