Albert Stroller (Robert Vaughn)

Albert Stroller (Robert Vaughn)

The Roper

Albert's the kind of gambler who's changed the course of his life on the toss of a coin.

Before becoming a grifter, Albert used to be a shoe salesman in the American Mid-West. Legend has it, when his store was closed down and the staff lost their jobs, he conned the company out of sixty thousand dollars and shared it amongst his co-workers.

For years he then worked the con in Las Vegas before fleeing to England in the 1970s.

A veteran of the long con, and a respected grifter of the old-school generation, Albert's job in the team is to pick the right targets ("rope the mark") for his con colleagues.
