I have enjoyed Robert Duvall's acting in so many movies over the years. Whenever I saw his name as a member of the cast I watched that movie. I can't recall a single time I came away disappointed. So sorry to see another of our great entertainers gone.

Thanks for the many cinematic memories, Mr. Duvall. May you rest in peace.

One of his earliest roles was in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, "Miniature": Miniature (The Twilight Zone) - Wikipedia

RIP.

One of his most memorable lines, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." So many great performances by a humble man.

RIP Robert Duvall
In his later years he enjoyed dancing the tango. To overcome his bowleggedness his teacher told him to place a quarter between his knees and keep it there while standing and taking small steps.
I don't mean to be funny on this sad occasion. I enjoyed and admired his work and was always interested in his anecdotes.
My favorite of all his impressive work was Lonesome Dove.

I liked him in the westerns too. Broken Trail was a mini series and one of my favorites.

RIP Mr. Duvall

Of course the Godfather but I remember some the movies he made in the 1990s the second half of his career and he still had it. He was in the movies about LA gangs and another about the asteroid heading for earth

RIP an acting icon or legend

Don't forget "To Kill a Mockingbird".. and also "A Family Thing" in which he co-starred with James Earl Jones.

Great actor that played many roles excellently.....RIP.

His memorable line in the VN movie Apocalypse Now..."I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

I'm sorry to find this sad news today, as well as finding out he was 95. In my mind, he was much younger.

RIP, Mr. Duvall.

I remember his 'Twilight Zone' episode "Miniature" and in "To Kill a Mockingbird".

Mebbe so, but I'd say that's bold talk, for a one-eyed fat man!

We just happened to watch The Godfather Part II last night. He was a good actor.

Very sad news indeed.
Robert Duvall was one of those rare actors who didn’t just play a character—he inhabited them so completely that you forgot you were watching a performance. He had a way of bringing quiet strength, humor, grit, and humanity to every role he touched. In a world full of actors, he was a true original.

For me, his work in westerns stands above the rest. No one captured the spirit of the frontier the way he did. Lonesome Dove has been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember, and a huge part of that is because of the life he breathed into Augustus McCrae. He didn’t just portray Gus—he became him. Warm, stubborn, brave, mischievous, loyal… all the contradictions that make a person unforgettable.

In my view, those are impossible boots for anyone else to fill. Duvall had a presence that can’t be replicated, only remembered with gratitude.

He was as good as they get—an actor whose work will outlive all of us, and whose characters will keep riding across our imaginations for generations. I’m grateful we got to share the trail with him, even from a distance.

Loved him in Secondhand Lions.

I read The Lonesome Dove and it instantly became my favorite book. I then watched the mini series and Robert Duvall played the Gus McCrae character just had I had pictured it in my mind while reading the book. RIP .
