[Deadstick]

Great actor i feel i grew up with many of his films and saw them all, he was part of the golden age of film with many others in the 60s and beyond like Gene Hackman of the same era, RIP.

Sorry to hear this news of Duvall. He sure paved his trail for being an iconic actor.

Good actor but not a big fan of Trump. He was more of a GW/Romney Republican.

Still, he was a republican and even worked at a GOP convention back in 2008 I think.

A helluva sight better than Marxists like Kammy Harris.

Phenomenon, John Q, and Gone In 60 Seconds are the films of his that I have seen.

God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. Actually, one other film of his that I have seen is the Sling Blade film, but he was only shown one time in it. He plays the father of the lead character in that film if you haven't seen it before. His character, in my opinion, only deserved a good kicking where it counts, but Mr. Duvall played the character well. To me, that whole film for the most part is sad. There is only one time or two where you may actually smile.

Duval was one of my favorite actors.

As was mine. This is crazy, the past few weeks they aired one of my favorite films with him in it, one of my favorite westerns ever, and they just re-aired it again just last week I think and I couldn't help but watch most of it again, and I got a premonition that he was going to die.

Duvall was in both of my two favorite westerns ever,

OPEN RANGE (2003) with Kevin Cosner where he played Boss Spearman (best live gun fight of any movie ever). As well as having done another movie I love the same year SECONDHAND LIONS,

As well as having played Ned Pepper in the original 1969 True Grit with John Wayne, my other favorite western. While maybe his appearance as Tom Hagan in the Godfather is what won him most critical acclaim for his career, it wasn't his best role.

But what made me a lifetime fan of Robert Duvall was the FIRST thing I ever saw him in, where he played Adam Ballard in 1964's episode of The Outer Limits in their only 2-part episode.

If you like Duvall and Science-Fiction, you owe it to yourself to watch that show. It is one of the most gripping sci-fi stories of all time right up there with City On The Edge of Forever. And Duvall totally sells it.

'The Inheritors' can be seen any time for free on Tubi, The Outer Limits, The Inheritors, 2 parts, towards the end of the 2nd season. I promise that story will have you right on the edge of your seat.

Oddly, I seem to remember someone here a few years back mentioning he actually knew and met Bob Duvall once at some family party, he was a distant relative, and he was a quiet man, not much for talk or show, kind of stuck to himself.

Maybe he will join this thread.

Robert Duvall was one of the last, truly great actors left in Hollywood. Not many more still come to mind except very few like Jack Nicholson, Robert DiNiro, and very few others.

I've met him a few times at local events and he seemed to be a good man. RIP

He lived in the next county over from me. I used to see him quite often at a semi-local eatery. Everyone there seemed to have the good manners to let the man eat in peace.

95?

IMO, way too long

So long as his quality of life was good then no time is too long. Man was a hell of an actor.

 

[odanny]

I’ll remember him as Gus McRae and a legendary, one of a kind actor. I remember about 10-15 years ago he was living in some South American country with a much younger, beautiful wife.

RIP
