Best Known For:
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Early-life:
Born September 12, 1972, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, but later moved to Great Yarmouth.

Donald Sutherland
(Actor)
.. Harry McKenna
Born:
July 17, 1935
in
Saint John, Canada
Best Known For:
MASH, Don't Look Now and Kelly's Heroes.
Early-life:
Donald McNichol Sutherland was born on July 17, 1935, in Saint John, Canada, and was raised in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. He became a DJ at the age of 14 on a local radio station, before studying engineering and drama at the University of Toronto, where he was evicted from his lodgings after hurling a sink out of a window. He moved to London, where he attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. A spell in repertory theatre followed.
Career:
Sutherland appeared in several British TV dramas before making his film debut in 1964's Crypt of Horror. He named his eldest son after its director, Warren Kiefer. More small-screen and low-budget movie projects followed until 1967's The Dirty Dozen. That led to bigger roles in acclaimed films, including 1970's MASH, which made him a star.

More recently he's featured in Dirty Sexy Money, Astro Boy (as the voice of President Stone), The Hunger Games and The Pillars of the Earth.

Trivia:
Sutherland started blogging for The Huffington Post in 2008.
