In Reply to: I think you are asking the wrong questions... posted by John_N on June 26, 2001 at 00:19:16:
Duvall doesn't need to have a say, because both the actor and the director know that he is "Duvall" and they both know what he will bring to the role when is is hired. Or you don't hire Duvall.
Duvall in Mockingbird, what year was that? What year did he make Godfather, 1973?
What I meant to say and did not articulate, is that today the man has become a parody of himself. I just don't see much role difference between
1) the preacher in Apostle(an intimidating preacher who slaps his wife around, kills, and does the good ol' boy shuckin' and jiven' routine?),
2)Santini (a pilot who attempts to intimidate everyone while doin' the shuckin' and jivin' routine)
3)the aircav officer in Apoc. Airborne, ha.
4) crusty ol cowboy in Lonesome Dove.
I see great similarity in those roles.
Duvall likes to travel to Argentina where he spends time dancing the "hormonal" tango. Kissinger referred to Argentina as the spirtual home of "machisimo".
Duvall is machisimo. That is why he goes to Argentina. That is why every role he plays is that of a macho man. Always.
