Kiefer Sutherland is honoring the legendary career of his father Donald Sutherland.
The beloved actor, who appeared in the Hunger Games franchise as well as M*A*S*H during his prolific career, passed away at the age of 88, Kiefer confirmed June 20.
“I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film,” the 24 star captioned a childhood photo posted to Instagram. “Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly.”
“He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that,” Kiefer, whose mom Shirley Douglas died in 2020, concluded. “A life well lived.”
According to Donald’s agency CAA, he died in Miami “after a long illness.”
After sharing news of his father’s passing, many fans and fellow stars sent well-wishes to Kiefer, including actor Cary Elwes.
“Devastated,” the Princess Bride star commented. “Our hearts are breaking for you. So grateful to have known & worked with him. Sending our love.”
