Henry Czerny closes the loop in "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" after 25 years

Henry Czerny describes himself as "the bread in the 'Mission: Impossible' sandwich," present at the franchise's beginnings in 1996 and now returning for what may be its conclusion.

The Canadian actor reprises his role as CIA director Eugene Kittridge in "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning," a character he calls morally ambiguous by design.

"If you were in their shoes, you'd kind of go, 'Yeah, exactly. Well, actually, you know what? He's got a point,'" Czerny said. "I don't like him because he reminds me of parts of me that I don't particularly like. But maybe he's got a point."
