Canadian actor Donald Sutherland's seven-decade career is being honoured with a new collectible stamp from Canada Post.
Canada Post is honouring the long career of one of Canada's best-known actors with a new collectible stamp.
The legacy of Donald Sutherland, who Canada Post calls one of the country's "most respected and versatile actors," spans more than 200 movies and TV shows over seven decades.
The stamp shows a side profile of Sutherland and lists the titles of some of his iconic movies in English and French, emulating a movie poster. It was designed by Quebec graphic design firm Paprika.
"Sutherland's incredible talents and eclectic tastes led him to take on a broad range of roles," Canada Post said in a press release issued Thursday.
Early in his career, Sutherland, who was born in Saint John, N.B. on July 17, 1935, appeared in stage shows and TV. He made his feature film debut in 1963 as the character "Tall Man in Nightclub" in "The World Ten Times Over."
His breakthrough role came when he played Vernon Pinkley in "The Dirty Dozen."
