I first became aware of him relatively late in his career, when CBC in Canada had him as an inerviewee during the Iran-Contra scandal.
He had an interesting career...

During the Nixon years, Schorr not only covered the news as CBS' chief Watergate correspondent, but he also became part of the story. Hoping to beat the competition, he rushed to the air with Nixon's famous "enemies list" and began reading the list of 20 to viewers before previewing it. As he got to No. 17, he discovered his name.
"I remember that my first thought was that I must go on reading without any pause, or gasp or look of wild surmise," he wrote in his book "Clearing the Air."
"I do not know how well I carried off my effort to appear oblivious to the discovery of my name on an ominous-looking list, but I count this one of the most trying experiences in my television career."

He also turns up in cameo, playing himself, in the David Fincher movie The Game. Possibly some other films as well, I'm not sure.
