Ocean's Eleven
Saul plays "Lyman Zerga", a wealthy foreign arms dealer with a special delivery that must be stored in the casino vault. He persuades Terry Benedict to secure a briefcase of jewels, actually disguised explosives, in the vault, which the crew later uses to blow the vault locks. His presence also lets the team watch the security cameras.
Later films
In Ocean's Twelve Saul at first refuses to join the European job because he feels too old for another grand heist, but he later turns up as a Swiss doctor in the museum con. In Ocean's Thirteen he poses as "Kensington Chubb", a British hotel reviewer, so that Willy Bank mistakes him for the Five Diamond Award reviewer.
