He more or less was everywhere when I was growing up in the 1970's. "The Sting", "All the President's Men", etc. "The Great Waldo Pepper" was often on T.V.

"Jeremiah Johnson" though is still a favorite of mine. Got me into blackpowder.

And surprised later when watching The Twilight Zone and he turned up as "Death": https://youtu.be/9tfyv4BZRug

And, of course, "Three Days of the Condor", ending in the middle of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen".

Don't forget Three Days of the Condor[0] in which he's supported by a fabulous cast as well.

Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorites of all time. Such a great movie. "You'll do well, pilgrim"

“Spy Game” is one of be one of the best spy films I’ve seen in terms of recruiting and handling assets.

Thanks for the recommendation. If you want realistic, modern spy show, I strongly recommend “Le Bureau Des Legendes”. I heard there’s an American remake, which probably makes it over-the-top for their audience, but the original is top-tier TV.

		Thanks for the rec! Will check it out. While a bit of a general bend (and not Robert Redford), I also felt Andor was a terrific portrayal of spycraft— the asset recruiting/handling, opsec, counter intelligence, etc.—and would still hold up equally well if extracted from SW and dropped into a contemporary setting.

		Plus one on the French, "The Bureau". Amazing series on spy-craft, double-think, and of course the risks.
