Amazing actor. The first film of his that I’d seen was actually Colors, back when I was a kid. I didn’t know much about anything back then but his performance left a mark on me. With time, I realised how much of a film heavyweight he actually was. Rest in peace.

Some deaths resonate more than others, especially when I remember them from my teenage years. His film performances from the 1970s alone would put many others to shame.

Being an ex Argentine Tango dancer in a past life myself… I found it interesting that Robert Duvall was also a lover of the dance, so much so, he practised most days of his later life…
Here is an article stating such..
Argentine Tango and Robert Duvall
BTW… I liked him best in Open Range with Kevin Costner
RIP Robert Duvall, a one of a kind

He had a small part in Gone in 60 Seconds but it was quality!
RIP Mr Duvall
Greater pens than mine can write of his work, his character and the influence he had on so many, but this caught my eye from that interview with him…
“When the game starts, you use what you’ve got – and don’t cry about what you don’t have. You run to your strength”
I think that can be applied in many areas, not just the field of sport.
