I liked MASH, Animal House and JFK and my guess he has been in some other movies. But still, screen legend?

Wow the first casting for the Hunger Games that actually fits. Well at least to me anyway.

I adore Donald Sutherland!

Agreed! I've loved him for years. Maybe it's the voice. Or the height. Or the bones. Or the whole package!

Reading your post I suddenly realized, in my view, that in many ways he's America's Peter O'Toole. Quirky comedy, yet can do sublime serious roles. Similar type physical traits. And both have voices that you immediately recognize.

I gotta find my What's New Pusscat? dvd. Then watch MASH.

He'll make an excellent President Snow. Anyone seen him in "Johnny Got His Gun"?

Donald's one of the great underrated actors. Not unlike Jeff Bridges. Always played/plays interesting characters, such as Sgt. Oddball in Kelly's Heroes.

And that distinctive voice of his. Excellent, man. Just excellent.

Too bad his son hasn't got his daddy's chops.

Kiefer is an excellent actor, "too bad" nothing. Did you watch 24 for even a minute?

I've seen him in 24 and some of the movies he's been in.

He's as flat and lame as can be. Just another Keanu Reeves, except without the good looks.

Gotta agree with Hoodoo. Kiefer's acting gives Reeves' a sense of range.

Wow, he's perfect. (I mean: I read the books--and I teach English--and I'm writing a YA Fantasy...) But I like him.
