Rolf Saxon played CIA analyst William Donloe in 1996 Mission: Impossible .

Saxon appeared in just a few days in the iconic franchise's signature sequence.

The actor says he had 16 pages of NDAs before he was offered a role in Final Reckoning .

He says it's a relief that his return hasn't been kept secret.

William Donloe is back at the top of the list of Mission Impossible : Donloe ! He says he and Tom Cruise are in the same scene, but Donloe doesn't know it.

"I drafted this letter to Tom Cruise , " Dear Tom , I have this idea..." And it was like, not a chance. I threw it away," he says.

Some of the reaction still surprises me.

I think people appreciate the nice button — not for me, but for the character and story.

I've had bigger parts, but never in a movie this size, he says.

Am I enjoying it? "Yes," he said.
