Donald Sutherland: 'I could tell you stories but I'd never get another job'

[Xipe Totec]

Donald Sutherland talks about his hopes that the Hunger Games franchise will inspire young people to become more politically active and explains why he'll never retire from acting.
In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, Donald Sutherland is back as Panem's tyrannical President Snow.
This final chapter sees rebel heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) on a mission to assassinate President Snow and liberate her fellow citizens.
Sutherland maintains that President Snow has "immense love and respect" for Katniss, even though she's his enemy.
"If she were his granddaughter, she would rule Panem," he says, when we meet at a London hotel to discuss the latest entry in his 50-year movie career.
"In the first film he is looking for someone to succeed him. She has everything. She's his definitive choice. He challenges her constantly, and she meets those challenges. And right up to the very end, he tries to deliver her little pieces of knowledge and truth."

2. do you know who his father in law is?

His father in law was voted Greatest Canadian. Tommy Douglas. Brought universal health care to Canada. Look up the cartoon Mouse land on YouTube.

3. When Keifer was hired to do Lost Boys the producer found out his mother was Tommy Douglas'

daughter who got kicked out of the US in the early seventies for her political activities.

He is said to have remarked, "Are you telling me I hired a Communist to work on my movie?"

4. I didn't know that.

That's pretty hilarious. Anything will get you called a Communist these days.

I always liked Donald because he was funny looking. As in "interesting to look at on screen".

Sort of like that Cumberbatch guy. Saw him in the movie about Alan Turing and the Enigma code-cracking project.
