I know, I know it's been months and I'm slacking.
But this one hit home for me.I saw him in Iron Eagle as a little kid, and thought he was the best.
-
Donald Sutherland.

@reimesu that sucks. I love a LOT of his movies. He's also got a pretty talented kid lol.
I remember an interview (Conan I think) where Donald said that his son has 5 middle names. When asked why, he said "Because I owed a lot of money at the time" or something like that lol
"Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland"
The real story is that he was named after 5 people his parents adored and admired.
(From the webz)
Kiefer Sutherland's five middle names were mostly chosen to honor multiple important figures in his life, including his mother (Dempsey was her maiden name), paternal grandfather Frederick, and father's close friend George. The reasoning behind Rufus remains a mystery, even to Sutherland himself. Pretty beautiful story and shows a bit of who Donald was -
Bob Newhart, 94.
