You were always there in our lives, whether on the big or small screen, sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but in each instance, at the top of your game.
As such, you made every one of the following extra special: Don't Look Now; The Puppet Masters; Outbreak; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Dr. Terrors House of Horrors; Castle of the Living Dead (aka Crypt of Horror); Bear Island; Eye of the Needle; The Dirty Dozen; Kelly's Heroes; Space Cowboys; A War Story; M*A*S*H; The Eagle Has Landed; Klute; Steelyard Blues; F.T.A.; 1900; Revolution; Cold Mountain; JFK; Bethune: Making of a Hero; Federico Fellini's Casanova; Lawmen: Bass Reeves; Witness to Yesterday; National Lampoon's Animal House; The (First) Great Train Robbery; Ordinary People; Backdraft; Six Degrees of Separation; John Steinbeck's The Winter of Our Discontent; Disclosure; The Italian Job 2003; Pride and Prejudice 2005; Fool's Gold; Fierce People; Baltic Storm; Dirty Sexy Money; Reign Over Me; The Hunger Games franchise; Kate Bush's steampunking video, "Cloudbursting," and with your son, Keifer, Forsaken, Max Dugan Returns and A Time to Kill.
Though I have many favorites among your queue, my top pick is that of Matthew Bennell, the California health inspector in Phil Kauffman's 1978 update of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, where you inserted the best of your everyman nuances, enough to make the movie's final scene one of cinema's most memorable.
Without discourse, you were one of the remaining greats, Mr. Sutherland, an artist of diverse views and astonishing talent, with an unforgettable body of work that acts as a pinnacle for all who strive to emote.
