Dang. That guy could do anything. He was great as that creepy pyromaniac in Backdraft for example.

" Actor Donald Sutherland, whom Canada Post honored on a stamp issued Oct. 19, 2023, would like you to send him a postcard franked with the stamp.

During an interview that aired Dec. 12, 2023, on the podcast Q with Tom Power, produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC), Sutherland said fans have been sending him letters in envelopes franked with the stamp.

“People have sent me letters just because they wanted to send me a letter with my stamp on it,” he said.

After the interview, he followed up with the CBC with an invitation for anyone to send him a postcard franked with the stamp. Those interested can address the postcard to Donald Sutherland, General Delivery, Georgeville, QC J0B 1T0, Canada.

Sutherland told Powers that he considers the stamp his greatest achievement.

“When they showed me this stamp, I felt that everything had come together,” Sutherland said. “You know, when you’re 88 years old — very nearly 89 — it means a lot, a stamp, because we grew up writing letters … . The stamp for me is everything, just everything!”

and he wasn't even dead yet, but what an honor, and 88 is a pretty good run !

so Buddy was married to Shirley Douglas the daughter of Tommy Douglas, the father of universal HC in Canada, so fucking Candian eh


edit: apparently he has penned a memoir to come out soon titled " made up but still true "

I loved DS. So many movies. But when I think of him, this always comes to mind. I was 12 when I saw this movie and it freaked me out!
