'' MISSION IMPOSSIBLE : THE FINAL RECKONING " : FILM HONOURS

When Rof Saxon first auditioned to play  William Donloe in Brian De Palma's 1996 '' Mission : Impossible,'' he didn't think he had gotten the role of the bumbling C.I.A. analyst who is outsmarted by Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt during a break in at Langley's headquarters.

In the first film, Donloe has only a few minutes of screen time. He's a working stooge who is poisoned by Ethan's team in its quest to steal a list of covert agents off his computer, housed in a secure vault.

While Donloe goes back and forth to the bathroom to throw up, Ethan drops down from a ceiling vent to pull off his caper. When Donlow returns to the vault, he finds a knife on his desk and realizes he messed up big time.

His fate is sealed by Kittridge, the Impossible Mission Force official, who says, '' I want him manning a radar tower in Alaska by the end of the day.'' Donloe's main role is collateral damage.

But according to the '' Final Reckoning '' director, Christopher McQuarrie, Donloe made a big impact. In fact, he said in an interview, fans frequently asked him when he was going to bring the character back.
