One of the top movie cowboys of all time in my opinion! Maybe not the best but one of the tops.

"The Apostile" was my favorite. He was great in all movies I have seen.

I've always thought that he's one of those actors that give value for money no
matter what he's in. On his worst day he does a good, workmanlike job, and he
doesn't seem to have very many bad days.

The late James Garner was like that, and Morgan Freeman
is, too.

Yep. Not ever the most 'famous', but consistently great.

Agreed, none of them ever phoned it in.

"Apocalypse Now" comes to mind, though Duvall was great, as usual.

The first movie I saw him was a short black & white independent on Chicago PBS-11 back in the 70's. He was a farmer & a pregnant woman came to him....boyfriend might've went back to the Civil War or got killed in it. She asked if she could stay, & he delivered the baby. She died in childbirth, but not before he promised her he'd raise it as his own. WHAT a job he did playing that part.....as is obvious, I never forgot it. AND DON'T FORGET THE E-TRADE COMMERCIAL HE'S DOING NOW WITH KEVIN SPACEY!!!jd45

THX 1138 was horrible. Even though it had Duvall and was from George Lucas.

Little known part guest starring as a somewhat reluctant, war weary but clever German soldier in a Combat! episode. A lot of folks haven't seen Broken Trail - a great yarn that was a straight-to-video release as I recall. And he did a good job stealing the scenes from Kostly Kevin in Open Range. Duvall probably one of the few that could command such respect from him to get away with being the bigger screen presence in a film Costner would agree to participate in. Actually also one of Mr. Costner's better, more under-played roles.

Forgot about Second Hand Lions. He and Michael Cain were priceless in that.

Besides the ones we think of like Lonesome Dove and Open Range I always liked Falling Down.

Robert Duvall is not a cast member in either Will Penny or The Cowboys, according to IMDB.com. jd45
