Robert De Niro [1] is famous for not needing words to intimidate people, and he lent this special gift to Saturday Night Live [2] in a brief appearance as Russia probe [3] special counsel Robert Mueller on May 19. The sketch also starred Alec Baldwin [4] in another appearance as President Donald Trump [5], holding a meeting with sons Don Jr. and Eric, Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon), and Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller [6]) inside a New Jersey diner — a deliberate nod to the ambiguous The Sopranos series finale.

De Niro's quick Mueller cameo was entirely silent, and featured a hand gesture which will look familiar to any Meet the Parents fan: a wordless "I'm watching you." Sometimes, you don't need to say a thing to send your message — just a stern look and the power of a massive government investigation behind you.

Watch the sketch above, then read Alec Baldwin's take [7] on his recurring role spoofing the president.
