RIP Robert Duvall. Like Gene Hackman, did he ever have a bad lead or supporting role? From Boo Radley to Tom Hagen to Frank Burns to Col. Kilgore to The Great Santini to Network, etc., etc.
Actor Robert Duvall has died — he brought a compassionate center to edgy hard roles
Duvall appeared in over 90 films over the course of his career, imbuing stock Hollywood types — cowboys, cops, soldiers — with a nuanced sense of vulnerability.

Duvall is superb in Falling Down. His genteel cop, on the cusp of retirement, representing a throwback to a better America that offsets the unhinged rage of the unhinged Michael Douglas white collar worker

A rare 90s film that has become relevant again in the age of MAGA and Internet trolls.
