Former FBI Agent Eric O'Neill Discusses Hanssen Spy Case

Former FBI agent Eric O'Neill is responsible for breaking one of the most notorious spy cases in American history. At the time, the 27 year old O'Neill helped take down double agent Robert Hanssen. At its peak there were 500 agents on the case but only one was locked in a room with Hanssen all day—that was O'Neill. The story is now in theaters in the new movie "Breach". O'Neill's role in "Breach" is played by actor Ryan Phillipe.
