Robert Duvall, one of my all time most favorite actors, passed away two days ago. The news broke about it yesterday and ever since I’ve been struggling to come up with the best way for me to pay tribute to him. The man did so much. It’s very hard to pick the movies and roles he had that I like the most. I absolutely loved his portrayal of Augustus McRae in the epic television miniseries Lonesome Dove. There were his appearances in The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. I could say something about The Apostle: a film he not only starred in but directed and financed (no company believed in it enough to front the money, but it wound up winning a slew of awards). There was his Academy Award winning role in Tender Mercies. His very first film appearance in To Kill a Mockingbird...
