Here is a beautiful quote from Donald. "My name is Donald Sutherland. My wife's name is Francine Racette. We are Canadians. We each hold one passport. A Canadian passport. That's it. They ask me at the border why I don't take American citizenship. I could still be Canadian, they say. You could have dual citizenship. But I say no, I'm not dual anything. I'm Canadian. There's a maple leaf in my underwear somewhere." 😍
Donald's former father-in-law was Canadian politician Tommy Douglas...the architect of our Medicare system 👍🇨🇦 And yes...Donald Sutherland was the original Hawkeye Pierce in the movie M*A*S*H...Rest In Peace, Donald...a true Canadian icon 👍❤🇨🇦 And your tribute to Donald was wonderful...thank you! ❤
I work in the building named for Kiefer's grandfather, here in Regina, where Tommy was premier of Sask, and Medicare began in 1963. There's a bust of Tommy on a wall in the lobby by famous Canadian sculptor Joe Fafard.The bench under it is a favourite spot to sit.
@@aussietashreacts You should react to "Greatest Canadian: Tommy Douglas" The top 10 each had an advocate to sell their case. Tommy's was George Stroumboulopoulos who really sold it - and Tommy came out as # 1.
Donald and Kiefer where both in the movie A Time To Kill (1996) and Forsaken (2015) where the play father and son. on a side note Kiefer Grandfather Tommy Douglas is the guy who started the free health care in Canada
Thanks Tash ... It hit us all hard to lose Donald , one of those actors who you think will live forever. So blessed to see Austrailia do a tribute, I was so proud. Thanks Much :)
The father of a good high school friend of mine was a childhood friend of Donald’s. They both left Bridgewater Nova Scotia to study civil engineering at the University of Toronto. I saw a picture of Donald passed out on a residence couch after a serious party the night before. Fortunately he gave up on civil engineering and went into theatre.
Hi Tash. You and your Aussie TV folks did a better tribute than most of the Canadian news outlets. We have lost 3 of our iconic actors in recent years. The incomparable Christoper Plummer, so great as the Duke of Wellington in Waterloo and canadian pilot in The Battle of Britain. The scrappy and delightful Gordon Pinsent who became a bigger star later in life with superb turns in The Shipping News and Away From Her. And now, our national treasure, Mr. Sutherland. Too many great films to name, and too great a contribution to comprehend. Thankfully, we have the 2 Ryans and Barry Pepper, and we can only hope that Bruce Greenwood and Callum Keith Rennie have a great 3rd act to help fill the void. Long live William Shatner!
I'm from Alberta Canada and i have to say Donald was one of the best actors of his time. coming from A man who is about to turn 49 though I have not seen a lot of the things he did the things I've seen were top notch.
One of my favourite Donald Sutherland moments was when he played a part in Kate Bush's video for Cloudbusting. His acting was superb, no less than what he put in for any movie he was in. A testament to his greatness.
Loved him. His unique voice,awesome talent,so versatile. Great in all the roles he played. Sad today as his passing is a great loss. Proud he was a Canadian. He will be missed.
What a wonderful tribute! The hosts are so engaging and have such a warm rapport with each other too. So good to know how loved the Sutherlands are in Australia.
Kelly's Heroes....Oddball (Donald Sutherland)....We got our own ammunition, it's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes... pretty pictures. I laughed at that line... great movie with iconic actors.
His movie "The Eagle Has Landed" was a good one too. Movie also starred Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. Donald and Kiefer starred in the 2015 western movie named "Forsaken."
Mr. Suherland is one of the VERY few celebrities that I would have liked to spend a weekend with - just talking about 'stuff'. He was a fascinating man. (He also grew up in a small Nova Scotia town that I spent many summers in while I was growing up, though we never met.)
My favorite Donald Sutherland movie is Kelly's Heroes where he plays a spaced-out tank commander known as "Oddball". "These engines are the fastest in any tanks in the European Theater of Operations, forwards or backwards. You see, man, we like to feel we can get out of trouble, quicker than we got into it"
I had to look this up; and apparently Donald and Kiefer were both in: >Max Dugan Returns (1983; but they weren't in the same scenes) >A Time to Kill (1996) >Forsaken (2015)
That was great Tash, thank you, Donald was one of my favorite actors. He did do a movie with his son, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the movie. They play father and son.
Beautiful tribute on your part as well. Happy Canada Day (July 1) to you Madame! Pull out your white and red garb and celebrate Canada and Mr. Sutherland.
Yes, Donald had five children. Both Keifer and Rossif became actors, and the others all work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. An incredibly talented family!
Some underwater work was done for his father in the 80's in the Eastern Townships of Québec. He was there and became so curious about the Viking dry suits that he went visiting the factory in Sweden and ordered a custom fit suit at his expenses for mr Boisvert, a local resident and diver. Both father and son where so polite and simple. Both Sutherlands where humble and honest, but I can say nothing about Kiefer, never met him.
I’ve loved the Sutherland’s (father & son) all my film watching life and loved that they were proud Canadians. For me Donald Sutherland will live on forever in the genius of what I consider his greatest role, Oddball in Kelly’s Hero’s. It required him to play a completely larger than life character that was both entertaining, believably human and pulls off a 1960’s antiwar message in the middle of a WWII movie. Anyone who loves this brilliant movie will never forget Oddball and will embrace his message “enough with the negative waves”. On the dramatic side, I don’t think anything touched the power and cultural impact of 1980’s Oscar winning Ordinary People. Robert Redford’s directorial debut sent his career in a new direction and the performances of Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore & Timothy Hutton stunned audiences and broke hearts. It’s a difficult but important film that’s success rests entirely on the believability of these three actors performances of a family who’s facade is torn apart by grief and loss.
OMG Aussie Tash, I love how you are an emotional human, and you really are a very special person! Cheers from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Also, congratulations on your success (I have to mention I am a bit obsessed with Masterchef Australia, ever since it started 16 seasons ago - it's the only Masterchef I watch). Peace, Health and Happiness to you and yours.
Loved "Eye of the needle".He was evil in that, a German spy boarding incognito with a woman lighthouse keeper in a Channel Island. "Klute", "Ordinary People" also terrific. He lost one role because the director wanted "a boy next door type"and thought he looked like someone who never lived next door to anyone. Tash, did you ever see one of Keifer's early roles in Stephen King's "Stand by Me"? So nice of Australia to do a tribute.
He played together with his son Kiefer Sutherland in three movies: Max Dugan Returns (1983), Forsaken (2015), and A Time to Kill (1996) where they played enemies.
i like all of Donald's movies, but my fave was in Space Cowboys... Clint Eastwood, James Cromwell, Donald Sutherland, James Garner and Tommy Lee Jones. He was quite a character in that movie lol.
When The 2010 Winter Olympics (to celebrate the 21st winter games) were being held in different localities in BC, Donald Sutherland using his beautiful voice was to narrate after all the athletes from the Five Ring Continents marched into the Stadium behind their country flag to describe eventful acts program [ I might add he was not speaking all the time. Musical pieces representing the knitting together the tapestry of why Canada is took place so majestically uniquely and spiritually. ] He also had the honours with 7 others during the Opening Ceremonies held in Vancouver. ACCOMPANYING them on their long walk was the Olympic Flag totally unfurled and at waist height one hand from each distinguished Canadian the likes of Anne Murray,singer (from the Maritimes) also gained fame by singing in her sold out shows in Vegas, Lake Tahoe long before Celine Dionne; Terry Fox's mom; Barbara Ann Scott, our sweetheart & the first to bring home gold during the Olympics where they only knew back then to hold the Figure Skating Championship OUTDOORS on a skating rink!; woman astronaut Julie Payette; Champion Ice hockey player, Bobby Orr; Humanitarian,Author, Former Forces Commander of United Nations in Rwanda Mission, Rollio Dallaire; Jacque DeNeuve Formula 1 and Indie Nascar Racecar winner, and of course, Donald Sutherland!
Hey Tash, a movie Donald and Keifer did together was Forsaken. I sent you a clip. Some very powerful scenes with the father/son dynamic. One of my favourite movies of his was Eye of the Needle, the movie version of a book by my favourite author, Ken Follett. Donald plays an evil Nazi spy during WW2.
Space Cowboys, Dirty Dozen, MASH, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers... so many great films in a wide variety of genres. He definitely avoided type-casting. RIP
Sorry Aussie Tash, this will be time no. 3 that I am trying to get this comment to you without it disappearing. (I hope that it will be the last!) ***As today is Canada Day (July 1st) as I type this - its probably coming to you too late BUT if not today then maybe some other day?? I don't think you have reacted to the 3 different types of SPECIAL Molson Canadian beer fridges that there was a promotion for back in 2013 & 2014. They were wonderful, inspiring a sense of nationalism, belonging & multi-culturalism. They would be GREAT for you to react to. (They actually bring a tear [or two] to my eyes.) I have just checked but can't find all 3 together. You would need to pull up each one separately. I have the titles of clips on RUclips for the 3 different kinds if you wish & they are: "Canadian Beer Fridge -Multiculturalism" - (1 min. 35 seconds) "Molson Canadian _ The Beer Fridge" - (I forgot to mark down the time but it is similar in length) "Molson Canadian The Beer Fridge - O Canada" - (2 min. 21 seconds) (I don't want to sound anal - even if I am being that way 😁, but just in case you wish to know, this would be the best order to watch them in too - ESPECIALLY if you watch them by ANY chance today.) Take care & all the best. Love from Canada. ♥ To any Canadians out there who are reading this today - Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canadian Day! Yeh sorry youtube sometimes puts comments in held for review, great suggestions. I have reacted to part of one of them in a video, i'll definitely add it to my list ;)
He might have been a very good actor but for anyone who had a chance to meet him, or his son, knows that they are/were not a good person. My wife even saw him once at the airport in Montreal, and when she walked by him, she just said Hi and he went ballistic on her. The son is the same as I have heard. They have quite a bad reputation here in Quebec, as they lived here for a long time.
Here is a beautiful quote from Donald. "My name is Donald Sutherland. My wife's name is Francine Racette. We are Canadians. We each hold one passport. A Canadian passport. That's it.

@@aussietashreactsneat eh?
I always thought of Donald Sutherland and Christopher Plummer as iconic Canadian actors.
He was a national treasure. Keifer can carry on his legacy.
About 10 years ago the Sutherlands played father and son in a western called "Forsaken"
RIP to another Canadian legend. Donald Sutherland.
He was a true gentleman and a great talent. RIP Mr. Sutherland.
As a child, my father went to school with Donald Sutherland, in St. John, before the family moved to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia when Donald was 12.

Mate dont forget Matthew Perry, the worlds favourite "friend"

I dont know how I will watch his films without welling up ... such an amazing actor
One of my favourite Donald Sutherland moments was when he played a part in Kate Bush's video for Cloudbusting. His acting was superb, no less than what he put in for any movie he was in. A testament to his greatness.
Yes Tash, he did play Hawkeye
Loved him. His unique voice,awesome talent,so versatile. Great in all the roles he played. Sad today as his passing is a great loss. Proud he was a Canadian. He will be missed.
What a wonderful tribute! The hosts are so engaging and have such a warm rapport with each other too. So good to know how loved the Sutherlands are in Australia.
Kelly's Heroes....Oddball (Donald Sutherland)....We got our own ammunition, it's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes... pretty pictures. I laughed at that line... great movie with iconic actors.
Oddball, a hippy before there were hippies.
Moriarty, would you stop making with them negative waves!!
Cheers AusieTash, he was loved by alot of Canucks! Kelley's Heroes!
My favorite Donald Sutherland movie was his role as Oddball in the Clint Eastwood's Kelly's Heroes.
I loved him in Klute with Jane Fonda. Thank you for remembering the great Donald Sutherland. R.I.P. Donald. 💔🇨🇦
No sorry needed. The best! Watch the first MASH, love. He is not replaceable. Thanks for doing this. Good on ya.
His movie "The Eagle Has Landed" was a good one too. Movie also starred Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. Donald and Kiefer starred in the 2015 western
movie named "Forsaken."
He was a proud Nova Scotian and Canadian. His versatility in all the roles he played is unsurpassed. He is a Canadian icon and national treasure.
Mr. Suherland is one of the VERY few celebrities that I would have liked to spend a weekend with - just talking about 'stuff'. He was a fascinating man. (He also grew up in a small Nova Scotia town that I spent many summers in while I was growing up, though we never met.)
I feel the same about William Shatner 😀

TY AussieTash for recognizing a great Canadian talent. I just want to wish you a Happy Canada Day, well in a couple of hours that is.
Dry your eyes, love. He may be gone, but he left us a huge wealth of roles. I lived this man. He was amazing, and his grin will live on.
I loved his ever present humor! He was so talented!
Donald/Keifer: I think they might have played on the same hockey team for a bit.
Oops! Sorry! That was Gordie Howe and his sons.
That was great Tash, thank you, Donald was one of my favorite actors. He did do a movie with his son, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the movie. They play father and son.
I loved him mate, you Canadians produce fine actors
That Australian tv did a retrospective on Donald Sutherland, a Canadian actor, shows how respected he was globally. RIP.
Beautiful tribute on your part as well. Happy Canada Day (July 1) to you Madame! Pull out your white and red garb and celebrate Canada and Mr. Sutherland.
Yes they did do three movies together. Forsaken in 2015, A Time to Kill 1996 and Max Dugan Returns 1983.
Yes, Donald had five children. Both Keifer and Rossif became actors, and the others all work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. An incredibly talented family!
@@pinky2245 I met Rachel, Kiefer's twin, at a party once. So open and friendly.
Check out 'The Forsaken' where he and Keifer actually played father and son. You'll love it.
Some underwater work was done for his father in the 80's in the Eastern Townships of Québec. He was there and became so curious about the Viking dry suits that he went visiting the factory in Sweden and ordered a custom fit suit at his expenses for mr Boisvert, a local resident and diver.
