He died yesterday and was 95 so he had a long life but for me he was one of the all time great actors, an actor’s actor and he stole the show for me in The Godfather as Tom Hagen.

He died yesterday and I lost a friend yesterday too. RIP to both men.

Not a Cinema fan, I have never heard f him.

Weirdly, I'm not a sports fan, but I never go on a sports thread in order to tell everyone that I have no idea what they're talking about. 🤨
RIP Robert Duvall. Truly one of the greats. What a generation of actors we are now losing. 💔

I just watched his short scenes again as Boo. He had so little to work with, so little time to do it in and yet he did so much. I think that it’s a true test of an actor when you can make such an impact with mere moments like that.

So true. No dialogue, one short scene which was his film debut, but so memorable. And Scout saying "Hey, Boo."

Ahh...Boo Radley, what a sensitive part to play. I think his first part too. RIP Mr. Duvall.

He will always be Tom Hagen to me

He was so good in that and though the remake was great, personally I still preferred the original.

Agreed!

However, I still don't understand why the Texas Ranger who's with them gets killed in the movie. He makes it safe back to Texas in the book.
