I don't recognize most early titles except The Avengers. After that it was M*A*S*H.
I saw him in S5 1967 episode The Superlative Seven: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0516935/
There's a photo of him. Episode is #5 highest rating.
Two episodes of The Saint before that but don't remember much of that.
Yeah, in addition to The Avengers and The Saint, there were his early UK films Dr Terrors House of Horrors, Billion Dollar Brain (3rd Harry Palmer film), and Die! Die! My Darling

Donald Sutherland, the beloved actor who starred in scores of films from The Dirty Dozen, MASH and Klute to Animal House and Ordinary People to Pride & Prejudice and The Hunger Games franchise and won an Emmy for Citizen X, died Thursday in Miami after a long illness. He was 88.
Born on July 17, 1935, in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, Donald Sutherland amassed some 200 film and TV credits spanning more than 60 years, from guesting on episodes of 1960s series including Suspense, The Avengers, Court Martial and The Odd Man to last year’s Paramount+ drama Bass Reeves. His big break in movies came with Robert Aldrich’s star-packed 1967 World War II drama The Dirty Dozen, playing Vernon Pinkley opposite Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, George Kennedy, Telly Savalas and others. A hit in theaters, it remains a seminal American war movie.
His next big role was as Capt. Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce in Robert Altman’s 1970 Korean War dramedy MASH. The alternatively harrowing and hilarious film earned five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, winning for Ring Lardner Jr.’s biting screenplay, and fueled the 1972-83 CBS series in which Alda Alda played Hawkeye.
I remember him in quite a bit of British TV and film in his earlier days.
shareSutherland moved to the UK in his early twenties, studying acting in London. Yes, it’s fascinating to see how many British films and TV dramas he popped up in back then.
