He's had a good run. I've liked him in most things of his that I've seen. My favorites come from his early work: ALFIE, THE LAST VALLEY, SLEUTH, and a later entry, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES.
Ha, I got that 60s spy film reference straight away.
Well he doesn't need the money, & he's too old to get up early, go to make-up & then hang around for 5 hours to do his scene. He should have a few rules for any films that wants him - he arrives at the studio at around 1pm, into make-up & straight onto the set where they're ready & waiting to film his scene. The producer should then take him for a drink & a bite to eat at some exclusive club.
