She laughed. The guy turned toward us and walked right at us. It was Robert Duvall. He seemed to be in a hurry, so as he walked past, I said quietly "Mister Duvall."
I could tell he didn't want to be noticed because he smiled and said very quietly out of the corner of his mouth "Hey, how ya doin'?"

It looked like he was trying to catch a connecting flight. I didn't bother him.


Classy. He might just still remember that. Much better than "hey Boo". Sounds like he might have been wrapping up Slingblade. He and Billy Bob exchanged favors in their roles in Slingblade and The Apostle.

Oh, another good one is Get Low.

After watching Open Range several times and realizing what a national treasure he is, I resolved to seek out other films of his. Unfortunately, the next one I watched was Assassination Tango, which I thought was horrible. I said it shows what happens, when you become so powerful in Hollywood, that they let you cast your girlfriend in the picture. As it happens, Duvall and the girlfriend are big fans of tango dancing. A patient of mine used to participate in tango competitions held in the barn he built on his farm for that purpose.

I definitely can't pick just one. Falling Down, Tender Mercies and The Great Santini are my favorites.

Days of Thunder is a movie I enjoyed him in.

That is one of my favorite scenes from that movie, I shamelessly stole the “wink from a pretty girl” line and have used it more than once. I like the slightly fussy courtly mannerisms he uses, down to the checking that his tunic, medals and eyepiece are as they should be just before the firing squad executes him.

One of the 1st shows ( perhaps THE 1st) where I saw Robert Duvall .... a Route 66 episode . Way back when I was a mere pup.
I have always enjoyed his professionalism. His critics were few. I am prolly his biggest fan.
He seriously took up Tango Dancing... late in life.


Never judge a man, till you have walked a mile in his shoes.....
That way, you'll be a mile away from him; and you'll have his shoes.

Wow. The wave of the right arm. Augustus McCrae did that time and time again.

I really liked him in Open Range and Rooster Cogburn. Didn't know he played in all the other stuff.

Get Low is one of my favorite movies.
