OMG, from Boo in "To kill a Mockingbird" to "The great Santini" to TV's "Lonesome Dove", to "Network" to "Tender Mercies".... the list goes on and on and on

Loved him as Bob Hodges in "Colors"; his pivotal role as Tom in the first two Godfather movies (how pivotal could be seen in how the 3rd film faltered without his character as Coppola in hindsight conceded), I thought of his roles in "The Judge", "A Civil Action" , again the list is endless

and of course Colonel William , "the smell of napalm in the morning." from "Apocalypse now"

This! Two of my favourite quotes/speeches in movie history were by him. Apocalypse now and his story about the old bull in Colors. Fantastic!

The thing is , when a movie is good, most actors can cruise or hold their own. Duvall even made otherwise unwatchable movies better by just being in them ! Think Deep Impact.

Another one I liked him in was "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas. One that flew under the radar a little.

I'm very sorry to hear that. May he R.I.P. I remember him best for "Oh Carol!". That's the song of his I've heard most.

It's only February and 2026 is off to a horrendous start.

When it rains, it pours! it's almost expected for so many reasons that we're responsible for, but we lack accountability!

Aw man, what a sad day. RIP Chuck Norris Absolute legend and he was so fit, it's a huge surprise.

 

[Murat B.]

Man...RIP. Chuck Norris jokes had me laughing out loud so many times. I wonder what he thought about those jokes created in his name, made him invincible.
I remember one: Death once had a near Chuck Norris experience...
What a legend.

[DarthFed]

This one hits hard. Even though he was 86 you figure he’d live forever because he’s Chuck fucking Norris. And the Chuck Norris jokes will certainly live on.

RIP, legend

RIP, legend

I heard he’s not dead but that Death had a near-Chuck experience, is this true?

But yeah, it’s sad to hear, and the gags are so funny and to be celebrated too, given how he loved them as well..
