Robert Redford Makes Acting Return With Cameo in AMC's 'Dark Winds'

The 88-year-old Hollywood legend appears alongside George R.R. Martin in the Season 3 premiere of the Navajo-set series.

Robert Redford, 88, made his first acting appearance in six years with a cameo in the AMC series 'Dark Winds,' where he plays a jail inmate playing chess.
George R.R. Martin, the author of 'Game of Thrones,' also appears in the same scene, marking a rare on-screen cameo for the acclaimed writer.
Both Redford and Martin serve as executive producers for 'Dark Winds,' a 1970s-set crime drama based on Tony Hillerman’s novels about Navajo tribal police.
The cameo scene was filmed on a closed set at Redford's request, with the actor reportedly bringing his signature professionalism and charm to the role.
Season 3 of 'Dark Winds' explores psychological and cultural themes, with Zahn McClarnon's portrayal of Lt. Joe Leaphorn receiving critical acclaim for its depth and nuance.
