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.
He was great in The Hunger Games. And most everything else he did.
