Following his breakthrough role on the TV series Rawhide (1959–65), he starred as the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti westerns in the 1960s and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry movies during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with some others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have ready him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. He won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as getting nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004).

He has received substantial critical praise in France in particular, including for several of his films which were pan in the United States, and was awarded two of France's highest honors: in 1994 he received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres medal and in 2007 was award the Légion d'honneur award. In 2000 he was awarded the Italian Venice movie Festival Golden Lion for lifetime achievement.
