Donald Sutherland

Donald Sutherland

Donald Sutherland is one of the most respected, prolific, and versatile of motion picture actors. He first stayed in Venice while shooting the 1973 film Don’t Look Now, directed by Nicolas Roeg, and returned to play Casanova in Federico Fellini’s 1976 film of the same name. Sutherland stars as “President Snow” in The Hunger Games, including the upcoming finale, Mockingjay 2.

Stories from this author

Director Federico Fellini had Sutherland’s eyebrows removed, built out his nose and chin, and partially shaved his forehead for the role of Casanova.
