I was just talking to my wife a day or two ago about how great of an actor DuVall is. Many movies not mentioned. The original, The Killer Elite, with James Caan. The Handmaid's Tale. True Confessions.
The reason I was talking about DuVall with my wife was what he brought to three specific roles that I was thinking of right then. Playing Boo Radley, he brought dignity to an outcast. In The Apostle, he played somebody that he probably didn't see eye-to-eye with as far as religion, but yet he was extremely respectful of those types of beliefs. He played a person many would consider a fanatic and was greatly empathetic on many levels. The last was his portrayal of Robert E. Lee in Gods and Generals and he played Lee in one of the worst time periods in American history...basically now, as far as very many people seeing Lee's side of things. Even anybody not agreeing with the southern cause had to see the honor of the man he portrayed. To me, even before many people mentioned these roles here, I thought these three kind of typify the awesome actor he is and his body of work.
Don’t forget God’s and Generals. He’s got a place near my old stomping grounds and used to see him out and about quite often. Young gals still swoon all over him and his wife is a sweetheart.
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites
A great and prolific actor. You guys have mentioned a number of his movies that I've not seen. I'll have to work on that. Lonesome Dove and Godfather are probably the favorites of the ones I have seen. Seems like I read once that he raised horses at one time.
