I liked his appearances on the Red Green show. It showed that he could be funny as well as serious. RIP

I know he's been in a lot of amazing movies and has given many memorable performances, but my favorite movie of his will always be Sneakers.

That’s a good choice. My preference would be the Sting. It’s kind of joyful to watch the whole thing come together. The man did a lot of awesome stuff.

Saw it in the theater and SETECH ASTRONOMY has always stuck in my head. He had to many good performances for me to choose just one.

I always thought of Robert Redford in older movies like The Sting and Three Days of the Condor (and even A Bridge Too Far), but I remember my surprise and delight when he showed up in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, playing the villain no less. It made me wonder where he'd been in the intervening years.

RIP to one of the great ones.
