It's crazy but when i saw him in this season of Dark Winds i wondered if it would be one of his final appearances. He was so slick,cool ,charming and calm in every role he took on from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ,The Sting, Sneakers,Legal Eagles , All the President's Men , The Way We Were,and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Farewell to a legend.

Agreed. Great series and enjoyed his brief cameo.




Dark Winds is an American psychological thriller television series created by Graham Roland. Based on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman, it stars Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon as the aforementioned two characters, leading a mostly Native Americancast. Executive producers include Roland, McClarnon, George R. R. Martin and Robert Redford.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Winds#cite_note-Grdn2023-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a>

I didn't know this. That is a damn good legacy to leave behind. It allows for more opportunities. Even more of a reason for me to say rest in peace and mean it

Yes, Robert Redford created the Sundance Institute in 1981 and the Sundance Film Festival in 1985 to support independent filmmakers and champion bold, new storytelling outside of the Hollywood system. Redford envisioned the Institute as a space for artists to develop their independent projects, with the festival becoming a global showcase for emerging and established independent talent.

It's like that these days.

He was before my time and they just sort of leave the spotlight.
