  • Two of my favorite Duvall movies were Open Range and Broken Trail. A great actor who always made it seem natural (i.e. no acting was required). RIP.

    Same with his role as Al Siebert, a curmudgeonly Indian fighter, in Geronimo: An American Legend (1993), a good historical fiction account of that time. Plenty of great acting in that movie, with Wes Studi as Geronimo and Gene Hackman as Gen. George Crook.

    Any actor that can play a convincing mob lawyer or cowboy is doing a good bit of work.

    I'm trying to remember the Twilight Zone episode he was in. Was it about people in a doll's house?
