Donald Sutherland, above, as Vernon L. Pinkley in The Dirty Dozen (1967), where it all began.
The classics are numerous, the performances consummate and … just unusual and weird in an unearthly way. He excelled at the oddball, and even when he played it straight you kept watching to see twitches of strangeness. Famously, he was never nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award. But what the fuck do they know? Roberto Benigni won that accolade. I mean, wow ….
Also, for years I thought that Donald Sutherland was Irish. He wasn’t.
Wanderings and ... wonderings.
