He was my fascinating co-star in Klute and we loved working together,” Fonda captioned a photo of Donald on-set. “Donald was a brilliant actor and a complex man who shared quite a few adventures with me, such as the FTA Show, an anti-Vietnam war tour that performed for 60,000 active duty soldiers, sailors, and marines in Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines, and Japan in 1971. I am heartbroken.”

In Kiefer’s post, he shared a black-and-white portrait of his childhood self with his dad. “With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” he wrote. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. 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. A life well lived.” Donald starred in the many successes including classic TV series M*A*S*H, Ordinary People, The Hunger Games movie trilogy, and more.
In a follow-up statement, Creative Artists Agency revealed his cause of death. “Acclaimed actor Donald Sutherland died today in Miami, Florida after a long illness,” the statement read, per NBC News. It did not disclose any further details about his passing.
