Cypress Sun Posted February 17 Posted February 17 An amazing and diverse list of movies and tv roles he both starred in, had minor roles in or just bit parts in, is listed below. From Wiki Robert Duvall filmography - Wikipedia Quote
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) He was so believable, especially as GUS, that I still get a somber feeling every time he dies in Lonesome Dove. It was probably the most real death scene I've ever seen or even witnessed in real life. RIP Gus! ..........Widder Edited February 17 by Widder, SASS #59054 1 Quote

Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Robert Duvall has said in multiple interviews that his favorite role was Sonny Dewey in The Apostle. Why The Apostle was his favorite Deeply personal project: Duvall didn’t just star in it—he wrote and produced it himself after struggling for years to get it made. Creative control: It reflected his own vision without major studio interference. Emotional connection: He has said he understood the character on a personal level—a flawed preacher seeking redemption. Critical acclaim: He earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and many critics consider it his finest performance. I never saw this movie but I liked him best in Lonesome Dove although all his roles were great! 👍 1 Quote

Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Yep; Best of the Best. He will be missed. See yah down the road up there and in time. RIP pilgrim. Quote
Stump Water Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Duvall had approximately 11 minutes of screen time in Apocalypse Now, yet he dominated the movie. His scenes and quotes are what people remember most about it. Joe Kidd. Albeit a "Clint Eastwood" movie, it's another one where Duvall almost stole the movie from the headliner. 2 Quote
