A truly great talent, for sure. He was often cast as a villain (absolutely great as President Snow in The Hunger Games trilogy) but as already mentioned he was up for any part and did all of them well.
I watched The Eagle Has Landed a few nights ago, where Donald Sutherland had the part of Liam Devlin, an Irish IRA member sympathetic to 1940s Germany because of their fight with England. Not exactly a villain, but close, with a devilish touch of humor. He played the part perfectly in an otherwise somewhat miscast (in my opinion) movie.
R.I.P.
