Owlish bureaucrat with some undefined but high position in the U.S. intelligence community, specific agency unspecified, in Hitchcock's North By Northwest (1959). He is forced by circumstances to become directly involved in the situation of Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), the story's protagnoist, when his own agent in the field is compromised and that agent's life is therefore put at risk. A typical Leo G. Carroll role, one he himself spoofed several years later as the director of the title agency in the TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
