Robert Redford, 88, made a surprise cameo in AMC's 'Dark Winds,' his first onscreen appearance in six years. He starred alongside George R. R. Martin, both appearing as jail inmates engaged in a chess game. Their scene, shot on a closed set, highlights the show's focus on Navajo police officers in the 1970s. Directed by Chris Eyre, the cameo had been anticipated since the show's inception. Redford had previously hinted at retirement but later expressed regret over the announcement, emphasizing his desire to focus on his work instead of dwelling on retirement.
Before this cameo, Redford's last onscreen appearance was in 2019's 'Avengers: Endgame,' reprising his role from 2014's 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.'
Redford announced his retirement before one of his final movies, 2018's 'The Old Man & The Gun,' but at the premiere he told Variety that announcing his retirement 'was a mistake.'
The show follows Navajo police officers in the '70s, and the episode's director, Chris Eyre, noted that the idea for Martin and Redford to cameo has been 'in the air since the first season.'
