One of the greats and a personal favorite of mine, I'll have to watch "Open Range" in his honor tonight.

Definitely one of the best. My favorite of his is "The Great Santini."

“Sometimes you don’t prepare much. I mean, when I did ‘Lonesome Dove’ way back I rode horses day and night for like three or four months, and that got me ready for that.” “To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.”
— Robert Duvall

Godspeed Sir..

Sometimes life imitates art.

Duvall was always one of my favorites. Loved Hub McCann.

Sorry to hear this. He played some great roles over the years.

I can’t recall a role in which he didn’t nail it. That’s rare. Godspeed, sir.

I want to say that my introduction to his work was in the role of Ned Pepper, in the 1969 "True Grit". A great actor, with roles that he made great.

One of my favorite actors because of this. His authenticity always came through whether it was the Godfather, the Natural, Jack Reacher, Open Range, We Own the Night, or Crazy Heart. I will miss him and his work. But 95 is a good run.

I still think the best role I've ever seen from him, out of so many, was as EF in The Apostle.



There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am.

Watching Lonesome Dove today. Gus McRae will always be my favorite Robert Duvall role.




Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.
