Duvall Tells Story About Brando's Big Balls - The Graham Norton Show

[@ammorreztristar]

Robert Duvall is one of the greatest actors of all time. Absolute legend .

[@alwaysbeclosing5797]

ammorreztristar: He was also phenomenal in The Apostle, though I don't think it received nearly the acclaim it deserved.

[@lescobrandon3047]

Duvall is greatly underrated.

[@RJL612]

Sean Shupp Thank You. I've been saying that for years. Duvall is great and the Apostle is indeed one of my favorite all time movies.

Duvall is hands down one of the greatest actors of all time. Brilliant on everything he rolls up to.

[@mirazusta2002]

Not to mention his baptism as an actor in "To kill a mockingbird", and two of his most memorable roles, prior to "The Godfather", that is, "True Grit", opposite John Wayne, and "The Chase", first time Duvall coincided with Marlon Brando. I mean, Robert Duvall is Hollywood royalty.

But I’ve seen him on Graham before where he said very little. He was very lively here. Maybe the other guests as well as Graham just opened him up. Great stories.

My three all-time favorite movies with Robert Duvall, “The Godfather” 1972, as Tom Hagen. “MASH” 1979 as Major Frank Burns and finally his first film “To Kill a Mockingbird” 1962 when he portrayed Boo Radley. The man is a legend! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

More people should see Duvall's early work in TV sci fi. As well as his excellent appearance in _The Outer Limits,_ he also has a superb role as an alien in an early episode of _Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea._ This was in the first and best season, long before that series gave up being clever and tense and became a byword for cheap bottle shows featuring stupid rubber monsters.
