Robert Duvall, All-Purpose Actor With Few Peers, Dies at 95

[FakeNoose]

13. I had read the book first, so I knew it was coming

... I'm referring to James Caan's shooting scene.

But Robert Duvall - the Consigliere - he was a revelation in the first Godfather. Even having read the book first, I thought Duvall played the part so much better on the screen than he was written in the book. The audience expects Marlon Brando to dominate, and he did. But Duvall handled it and played off him in every scene they were in together. They were brilliant and the main reason it was such a great movie. In my opinion Al Pacino did more of a star-turn in Godfather II.

Rest in Peace, Robert Duvall, and thanks for all the great movies!
