Couldn't sit through [Duvall's] portrayal of Stalin, though...or was it Lenin?
This son of a naval officer knows how to sum up a situation. He's only the best actor in Hollywood.
BTW, I did see "The Apostle". It's...ummm...different, but I liked it, and you can tell he liked playing the part. Two of my favorite characters of his are The Great Santini and Gus in Lonesome Dove. Couldn't sit through his portrayal of Stalin, though...or was it Lenin? Whatever...I couldn't sit through it. I somehow missed Gods and Generals in the theater, but I will buy it when it comes out on DVD. When I heard they were making Gettysburg into a movie I told everybody that Robert Duvall would be perfect for the part of Lee...and they ended up using Martin Sheen. To his credit, Sheen isn't a bad actor, he's just no Robert E. Lee.
