Do you love Robert Duvall?

I just read a piece on him in Entertainment Weekly. He is just so cool and good in everything. never a leading man, but always the best man...

How can you not like the dude?

Re: Do you love Robert Duvall?

He may be the only actor I like in any role he plays. But then I saw like 40 or 50 minutes of Assasination Tango. Holy shit was that a boring movie by him.

While I hated being dragged to 4 Christmases... I loved him in it. Faverau was enjoyable too.

Love him as an actor, one of the all time greats. Don't love his political views.

Great actor, but his movies have never been "must see" for me. I always liked his cop role in Falling Down.

Re: Do you love Robert Duvall?

Not that it matters to me but what about his views is it that bother you? I've actually never heard anything from aside from his movie work.

I've never met him. So no emotional attachment to him.

He's a damn_good actor, though.

I would've loved him even more if he would've returned in Godfather 3 to go against Michael.

This about sums it up for me. I think he's a very good actor but I don't go out of my way to see films he's starring in.

Re: Do you love Robert Duvall?

He'd been around for years, mostly doing TV, but he didn't register with me as a recognizable face until TRUE GRIT and M*A*S*H. And then came THE GODFATHER and the rest is history.

Never a leading man? What about The Apostle?

And Tender Mercies. I'd love a BD on that one.

He's a Sarah Palin supporter.

I just came on here to mention it...first movie I saw with Duvall, and a great performance. Wish that would get updated for Blu-ray.

Maybe he just wants to bang her. Eddie Money style.

Re: Do you love Robert Duvall?

The true tragedy of The Godfather III was not the death of Mary Corleone but the writing out of Tom Hagen.

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

I'm sure some people don't like that he wasn't in Godfather III as a missed opportunity . Otherwise, what not to like?

Nobody's perfect.

His upcoming film with Robert Downey, Jr. looks like it will be pretty good.
