Imho perfect casting on lonesome Dove, both Duvall and Jones can actually ride a horse. They were well mounted but the grey horse they called the hell bitch was actually a gelding. I thought Diane Lane done a good job.

Great actor. I was watching Bullitt yesterday, made in 1968, and there was Robert Duvall in a bit role as a cab driver.
In about 1963 he starred in a Twilight Zone episode where he played a guy who was fascinated by a display in a museum. It was a replica of a big house, like a big doll house, and there were figures of a family there including a beautiful lady. In the last scene, Duvall had shrunk down to 3 inches tall, and joined the pretty lady in the doll house.

He was a big fan of dancing the Tango. IIRC, he told that he journeyed down to Brazil with his wife to dance it. He’s got a barn set up for party’s and lessons.

He is one of the best. Sadly most of the good ones are gone or getting up in age.

Something I've noticed is when other actors are cast in movies along with Duvall most seem to do a much better job in their roles and some even just become better actors altogether.

Even a dumbass like Costner can't kill a DuVall performance.

While there are a lot of movies that Robert Duvall has been terrific in my all time favorite is his role in a movie called "Tomorrow". It was made early in his career and set in the rural South.

I list him at the top of his profession. He's one of the greatest in my opinion.
