Robert Redford, who died at 89 On September 16, 2025, he was a true titanium for the film industry. And while he also had TV roles in his resume, he spent most of his career and in front of the camera of film productions instead. As such, you generally did not expect to see it on the small screen ... much less sharing a scene with someone like Georgeorge RD Martin. Not only is Martin not an actor by trade, but he is also best known as a writer whose works are adapted to HBO's fantasy, "Game of Thrones" and her two spin-offs, "House of the Dragon" and "Knight of Seven Kingdoms" -What does not look exactly like Redford -style projects.

However, Redford lived life by his rules, and on March 9, 2025, he said the rules really led to appearing opposite Martin on the screen for approximately half a minute. This incredible but pleasant encounter is held in the "Dark Winds" Season 3, Episode 1, titled "Ye'iitsoh (Big Monster)". AMC's western Noir for Navajo's tribal police, which supports the law in the 1970s, opened its third season with an episode that briefly showed the two giants in their fields playing prisoners who enjoy a quiet game of chess, with Martin's character in the end.

The Starvala "Dark Winds" Zan McLarnon, who also appears on stage, was understandably dearly about the incredible opportunity to work with Redford, who was thinking of withdrawing from acting in 2016 And it was not seen in front of the camera since its "Avengers: Endgame" Cameo in 2019. "I never thought I could get to a place in my life where I would actually know Robert Redford, let alone be on stage with him," McLarnon told Vulture.

What you need to remember here is that Martin and Redford were also fans of the book series Tony Hilerman "Dark Winds" and the producers of the show, so it made sense to appear on the screen at some point. The plans to happen this took a long time and initially involved a much more miraculous story in Season 2, where the couple would play two men in black, who arrived to investigate UFOs.

Redford was actually the person who made the idea of ​​some kind of Kimo, and the idea was sorry for the conception of the show. Men in black were actually arranged, but a series of strange phenomena - which included Martin, in fact, to meet the legend of the screen he would have to act, as well as an incident with the sheep that were supposed to play aliens - intervened. As he told the show -Shohnon Wirte's show of Vulture:

"Bob was trying to talk to George in it. Then Zan McLarnon and I, the executive producer Jimim Corey, the starfish Kiova Gordon, we were all there trying to persuade George to say yes.Men in black ' Suits for each of these guys. It ended up as pretty expensive. We got it 'Men in black ' truck. We had sheep. Then there was a panic because the sheep were attacked by Coyoti and almost died, so they could not appear on the camera. Just got nuts. "

How amazing as it is to think that Redford was completely down by borrowing his talents to play a man in black, who is out to examine other sheep, Martin really pumped the brakes - and Virth eventually revealed why this may be. While the show -Show was joking that Martin may be simply nervous to realize in practice that his partner on the screen will be one of the most famous photogenic and charismatic actors in history, he also heard that the reason may be more personal. As Wirte told Vulture:

"I saw the Georgeor of some late at night on the talk show, and they made a skete that they were unable to complete the latest (" song on ice and fire "). It was very funny little. So, I wrote a line in this little scene for that, just allusion to finish something. I suppose Georgeorje took it to have fun with his inability to finish this novel, so he said he had. "

By the time the chess scene was filmed, Wart taught his lesson, and the stage should have no dialogue until Redford decided to insert some. As is the case, the line he chose was no different with the idea that Wirth was turning with: "George, the whole world is waiting," he said. "Make a move."

After McLaron Jo Leforn enters and gives George -George the winning move, Redford looked at the officer and delivering the last line of his latest role: "Thank you very much." Thank you very much, Mr -Redford.
