What a career! I think the first thing that I remember him from was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but he did so many things! Amongst them: The Way We Were, Electric Horseman, Ordinary People, Out of Africa, Sneakers, Quiz Show, and two Avengers/MCU movies - Avengers: Endgame and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Not to mention starting the Sundance Film Festival!

In his early television days, as so many actors did, he did a lot of episodic work, including: Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone, Maverick, Route 66, Dr. Kildare, The Virginian, etc. He also did stage work.

And the awards! From Wikipedia: "an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and two Golden Globe Awards, as well as the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1994, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 1996, the Academy Honorary Award in 2002, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2005, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016, and the Honorary César in 2019. He was named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014."

An amazing career and quite a legacy of work left for us.
