I voted "No" because I do not love Robert Duvall.
He's a great actor and I like seeing him perform, but he's not one of my favorite actors and I never have sought out a movie just because Robert Duvall was in it.

I don't love him or hate him, but he is a damned fine actor.

He was absolutely amazing in the 1962 Outer Limits 2-parter "The Inherieters". Just floors me everytime I see it.

Can't blame him for being MIA in Godfather III. Pacino wanted $7million instead of the $5M offered. They rewrote the script, writing out Michael. The film was to begin with his funeral. Pacino settled for the $5M.
Diane Keaton was offered $1.5M
Duvall was offered $1M. I would have told them to fuck off too.
Sinatra was supposed to play the Eli Wallach role. He told them to fuck off when he got their offer.

In addition to all of the work he was clearly passionate about, I think back to all of the paycheck movies he did in the 80s and 90s where he legitimized the movie. Isn't Days of Thunder better b/c you believe Robert Duvall? Who else could have pulled off the John Glenn role in Deep Impact?

I really like his westerns he does - such as Open Range, Broken Trail and Lonesome Dove

He's a solid character actor who can elevate almost any movie he's in, but I won't go out of my way to see a movie he's in.
And, I agree that Tom Hagen was sorelly missed in Godfather III. Just one of the many problems with that film.

I like GF 3, and I actually thought George Hamilton did fine with his role, but w/o Duvall there just really wasn't enough counter weight to Michael.

I always considered Duvall a fine character actor that could pull off a lead performance in the right role. He did excellent work in Tomorrow, which has recently been made available on Blu-ray. It's practically an unknown movie today but Tomorrow is definitely worth seeing somewhere.

I've never considered Robert Duvall to be just a character actor. While its true he's had quite a few smaller supporting roles that were great, but he's also done a ton of great work in ensemble pieces and as a lead.

The man gave one of the most iconic (IMHO) performances on screen in Apocalypse Now (biased as this is one of my favorite movies), so yes. Love me some Duval.
#41
He was Boo Radley! "The smell of napalm" Lonesome Dove! Godfather's I & II, Young Lions w Michael Caine, True Confessions w DeNiro.... argh it is a long great list.

He was also good in Network.
