My favorite actor

Today is Robert Duvall's birthday. He's my favorite actor. Just a small glance at his body of work IMDB page gives a view of many great films. He's a great lead and a good buddy for a dual lead movie, but he's at his best in support, like the detective in Falling Down or the lawyer in A Civil Action. Then again, he was great in Open Range and Secondhand Lions, too. I'm one of few race fans who actually liked Days of Thunder. The Apostle seemed real and accurate to me. Network was before its time. Tender Mercies, THX-1138 and on and on. It's just a wonderful set of films, with wonderful performances.
