Albert Stroller played by Robert Vaughn

Albert Stroller is ... THE ROPER. He deserves an Oscar for every mark he's duped. His sharp, distinctive style gives him the air of a CEO, which allows him to prey on marks in upper tax brackets. He exudes the kind of dignified professionalism that wealthy, unsuspecting marks trust implicitly and he uses that to rope them in for the serious score. For this veteran of the game, who mentors everyone from Mickey to Danny, it's all in the details. The style. The look. The attitude. Not bad for a shoe salesman from the Midwest.
