Donald Sutherland
In a career spanning six decades actor Donald Sutherland has portrayed a wealth of rebels, ruffians and iconoclasts, whose distaste for playing by the rules is searing, and often very funny. So strong is the stamp of a Sutherland rebel that, when he does play a figure of authority, tradition or cloak-and-dagger subterfuge, the audience is forgiven for believing that his tongue - when speaking of order and control - is very much in his cheek.
On November 11, 2017, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences presented the star of such classic films as "MASH," "Klute" and "Ordinary People" with an honorary Oscar at its Governors Awards ceremony.
