Donald Sutherland (88) passed away. One of my favourite actors. I liked his many roles in WWII and spy movies. Kelly‘s Heroes, Eye of the Needle, The Eagle has landed to mention a few, but also JFK, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, etc. I will miss him.

Sutherland's role as maryjane-smoking professor David Jennings in Animal House.

Will always remember that long stare after one of the students asks him through the haze, "Where can I buy some of this pot?"
