Who could forget "Apocalypse Now" line by rogue Colonel "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Add on "The Great Santini", "Godfather", "Falling Down", and several others. Robert Duvall is one of the few actors that I'd unconditionally make a blind buy of any movie that he's in. What a fine life and career!

"I AM the GREAT SANTINI!" He was a cab driver in "Bullitt" and even did a Twilight Zone in the early 1960s. He did great in "Lonesome Dove" - imagine being able to poke Diane Lane? Publicly, he was low keyed, not looking for PR. He'll be greatly missed.
Definitely one of the greatest! He will be missed.😪

Network. "It's a big, fat, big titty hit!"
Great actor. I put him in a category with Christopher Walken. Even in a supporting role he was riveting when he was on screen and made the movie better. I just watched “The Eagle Has Landed” (not a great movie) last weekend before he died. Of course he brought a lot of depth and character to a supporting role as a Nazi Colonel planning the operation to kidnap Winston Churchill.
Yeah he was one of the greats.
