Another legend leaves us today. RIP

 

[EviLore]

RIP. What a career.

 

[MrCunningham]

Well, he made it to 95. At this point I would just give him a round of applause for making it that far. To me, if you make it past 90, you did good. RIP.

 

[Gp1]

I'll edit the topic afterward

One of my personal favorites

 

[Burning Blade]

Him and Gene Hackman were my GOATs. Rest easy.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Damn.

 

[AJUMP23]

Brilliant actor.

Bluebonnet Spearman is a great role.

 

[DKehoe]

RIP. A hell of a life.

 

[Forsete]

RIP king.

 

[Ownage]

Victory.

 

[ssringo]

Sucks that this is the new norm for me (and folks around my age). Hearing about the legends I grew up watching in movies/TV or hearing on the radio dying off more and more regularly.

RIP to another great one.

 

[Judge Magister]

 

[AJUMP23]

He loved the smell of Napalm in the morning.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

If you haven't watched Lonesome Dove, you really should. The best role of his career. A perfect casting if ever there was.

RIP

 

[HoodWinked]

All time great.

 

[DeepEnigma]

He loved the smell of Napalm in the morning.

In honor of one of the GOATs, I shall napalm barrage the snots out of the terminids in Helldivers 2 later.

RIP

 

[thefool]

Legendary actor, legendary career.

 

[John Marston]

What a career.
Loved him in Colours.

Also loved him in a lesser role in Falling Down as the cop chasing down Michael Douglas while dealing with his disturbed wife.

 

[Little Mac]

Damn. Rest in peace. There not what he will be remembered for but Days of Thunder, Falling Down, and Gone In 60 Seconds are some of my favorites of his. Regardless, he had an iconic career.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Great actor, watched The Godfather movies a while back and it really reminded me of how great Duvall was.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

If you haven't watched Lonesome Dove, you really should. The best role of his career. A perfect casting if ever there was.

RIP

Watched that recently, him and Lee Jones was a great pair.

He lived long and experienced a lot, amazing life he had, RIP.

 

[Chuck Berry]

This one hurts. A LOT.

RIP

If any of you like westerns, check out Open Range with him and Kevin Costner. It's fucking awesome and Duvall rocks with a shotgun.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I'll have to watch the godfather again, he was amazing in those.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

RIP, great actor and always seemed like a chill guy in any interviews

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

RIP. His legacy will live on forever.

 

[EviLore]

Recently saw THX-1138 in the theater. Great performance from Duvall, really brings a humanistic element to the cold dystopian scifi setting without going overboard.

 

[Skyfox]

Mandela effect for me here…

Didn't he die like 3 years ago???

 

[Insane Metal]

He loved the smell of Napalm in the morning.

I hereby post this as a homage to the legend.

 

[winjer]

Amazing actor and career.
They sure don't make them like they used to.

 

[Bojji]

Incredible actor. RIP

 

[jason10mm]

Wow, as old as he was, he always felt so solid and present. There are definitely no young actors with his screen charisma working today.

 

[jason10mm]

And every day I dread the news of Clint passing, but now he has yet another cowboy waiting for him....

 

[Trilobit]

Open Range is probably my favourite film with him, especially with the chocolate scene. I hope he was able to enjoy life's small joys in his old age before passing.

 

[Musashipan]

Legendary actor! RIP

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Damn. 2026 is already reaping souls left and right. Rest in peace sir.

 

[Rentahamster]

Damn. 2026 is already reaping souls left and right.

On the bright side, my portal to the Dark Muffin Dimension is nearly open.

Spoiler

RIP

 

[MaestroMike]

RIP

 

[InterMusketeer]

Man, I love him in Lonesome Dove and Broken Trail.

 

[Darchaos]

RIP

 

[AngrySeamonkey]

What an actor! So many great roles and was always a class act. Growing up I always remember my dad watching The Great Santini. RIP

 

[Topher]

RIP. What a career.

One of his earliest roles was playing Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.

 

[ReBurn]

Such a great talent. Sad news.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Superb actor, so many excellent roles and i thought he was especially great in Falling Down. RIP.

 

[Major Insano]

Another legend passes on. R.I.P

Saw him in the Jack Reacher movie just the other day. He was great in the shooting range scenes.

'That's your mulligan Mr Ward, play ball!'

 

[AJUMP23]

He was in true grit with John Wayne.

 

[amigastar]

Just read the news, so sad, one of my favorite actors of all time.

 

[Singular7]

If you haven't watched Lonesome Dove, you really should. The best role of his career. A perfect casting if ever there was.

RIP

Thanks, enjoyed the book, I'll definitely check it out.

 

[vindafarna]

One of his earliest roles was playing Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Amazing. Great performance by Mr. Duvall in that film; very faithful to the book.

RIP

 

[BillMaxwell]

Well, he made it to 95. At this point I would just give him a round of applause for making it that far. To me, if you make it past 90, you did good. RIP.

From the TV show Billions, Axe and Wags are talking about reactions to people dying at various ages:

"Dying in your thirties or forties? "Tragic." Fifties? "Such a shame." Sixties? "Too soon." Seventies? "A good run." Eighties? "A life well lived." Nineties? "Hell of a ride.""

Duvall had a hell of a ride.

 

[BillMaxwell]

Recently saw THX-1138 in the theater. Great performance from Duvall, really brings a humanistic element to the cold dystopian scifi setting without going overboard.

That is one I have yet to see.
