HF We lost another Gods and Generals actor

[Sheltowee]

Amen…amen…amen.
Never thought I would claim a favorite actor- but Duvall took that title after watching Open Range.

Guess now it would be Barry Corbin.

Hated to hear it, but it was gonna happen eventually.

Growing up I wanted to be like Duvall's Gus Mcrea. Unfortunately that didn't happen, but hey my boss calls me Woodrow Call every time I get on to someone and an old man runs off to HR to complain about me hurting they're feelings when they got rude.

Whether as a real jerk in Joe Kid, Lucky Ned Pepper, Gus Mcrea, or even Robert E. Lee, Duvall could bring any character to life.

Man that stinks. He was such a great actor.

Open Range is one of my favs too, Lonesome Dove as well, the list is long.

After filming "Second Hand Lions" Duvall and Michael Caine became good friends. If any of you haven't seen that film you're missing some great acting by two giants of the industry.

Sad but true. That's how I feel about Clint Eastwood

On a side note, for any horror fans, Duvall played a priest in the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Terrific actor. A long time ago Gregory Peck paid tribute to him for his silent acting in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Dang, this one stings.

They could not have casts a better 'Lucky' Ned Pepper and Captain Augustus McRae (and they tried on both counts!)

He was great in Geronimo, Joe Kidd and Open Range, as well.

"By god, Woodrow - It's been quite a party, ain't it?"

"Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago..."

For some reason I always forget about Ned Pepper ...

[Desert Kid]

Days of Thunder is my go-to childhood movie. But his single scene in Sling Blade really did it for me.

 

[Desert Kid]

Oh God, how could I ever forget the other side of my holy trilogy of Duvall movies. Falling Down!

Sure glad somebody else here likes that movie too!

Great movie, and of course I'm biased cause Duvall was one of my favorite actors.

 

[Story]

He so embodied the spirit of the Cavalry that art has become life.

 

[donna]

He was one of my favorites too. He lived a long life and had a great career. May he rest in peace,

One of my favorites.I suspect many have never heard of this movie much less seen it.

Sorry I said "after the filming", I meant "during the filming". Caine must have had a good voice coach. Notice how he sounds "Texan" instead of British.
