@CI5AgentSweeps I agree :D. He was fantastic in The Professionals and always offered great support in films like these. From what I've heard, he also played a machine gun carrying doctor in a 1977 Die Hard-style action flick called Golden Rendezvous. That must have helped him bag the role of Cowley. Yep, he was with McQueen in The Great Escape and in Hell Drivers with Stanley Baker, Patrick McGoohan and Sean Connery.
@Banner1979 He also popped up in the 1977 hostage actioner Golden Rendezvous with another late great star Richard Harris. Apparently, Gordon played a doctor who ended up using a machine gun. :D
Good to know that Gordon Jackson shared screen time with my two favourite film actors, Caine and McQueen. The man himself is a true legend :)
