Posted on Thursday, May 13th, 2021 by Ethan Anderton Mission: Impossible 7 is already one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2022 if only because of the daring stunts pulled off by franchise star Tom Cruise. But there’s one element that has longtime fans of the franchise very excited, and that’s the return of actor Henry Czerny in the role of Kittridge. You may remember him: he was the director of the Impossible Mission Force in the original 1996 film who mistakenly thought Ethan Hunt was the mole that plagued the agency. So what’s Kittridge been up to throughout these past 25 years? That’s something Henry Czerny had to figure out himself when he was asked to return to the franchise.
