Robert Duvall Is hard to remember in most of his roles. His acting is so good he blends into the story and becomes the character.

One of Duvall’s best for becoming a character was “Second-hand Lion”, IMO.

A brilliant observation as it explains both why Robert Duvall is among America's finest actors ... and why he is worthy of the adulation of serious film fans. (That very small part he played in "Slingblade" -- in which Duvall, without even trying, "stole" the scene from Billy Bob Thorton who was exceptional in the lead role of his screenplay, is how effectively Duvall "becomes the character.") Cheers!
