Robert Duvall Reflects On Living And Working With Dustin Hoffmann

[@xseqer6770]

There's something about Robert Duvall that is way beyond acting. Is it that he just projects having a very DEEP understanding of what it is to be Human? Just watching him talk is as interesting and engaging as watching many actors in their best performances. As subtle an actor as can be imagined...and a 'character' we will miss when his last scene finishes...Thanks Bob

[@DMKali]

He is a treasure and such an amazing actor! 🥰

I adore Stephen’s admiration for the legends in his industry. His respect comes across in waves of love and praise. I hope Stephen is cherished by future generations for his amazing work in helping us heal and stay laughing even at the worst of times. Much love to you Stephen 💕

[@terradisiena]

What a beautiful, thoughtful comment. I couldn't agree more and I completely share your sentiment.

[@jackhammer7824]

He's OK, better than Carson ever was. A real interviewer not like Letterman. David was funny but shallow in reaching his guests inner thoughts. Now Larry King #1 interview host. Miss you Larry.

[@jackhammer7824]

@@Mozart1220 You're very correct, watching the early Late Nite shows. David is very nervous and just doesn't want anything to go wrong. He must have been under a lot of network pressure or maybe his own.

It might be out there, but listening to Robert Duvall talk about acting reminds me of an interview I saw of Duke Ellington talking about music.

[@desiatohotblack]

"Open Range" is an overlooked gem of our time, way underappreciated. Not only a magnificent vehicle for Mr. Duvall, but perhaps also the last best Cowboy movie.

[@jameskeyes1131]

I said that in the last part of the interview - another video. His relaxed acting style fit the role perfectly. His treatment of the impulsive young man is so well done. He knows when to play strong and when to lay back. Decades of really fine performances from one of the great actors of our time. He and Redford have the same style - you don't see them acting, they are so good and laid back yet deliver a message that you believe. Brubaker (the prison warden movie) is Redford's finest movie in my opinion.

[@ZYX261]

Like both, but I preferred Lonesome Dove to Open Range.

[@bigneon_glitter]

_Open Range_ is one of the greatest Westerns ever made. And Duvall should've been nominated for it.

[@tramuntan1ca]

Oh yes. Good, classical western with excellent shoot out at the end.

[@philippeh3904]

Literally one of the greats. Wish people talked about him on the same level as Pacino, De Niro, Hackman, Hoffman and Nicholson.

[@c17sam90]

I think people do but I do wonder if half the issue is Duvall is often a supporting actor and not a lead

[@mistrmistr6417]

Duvall's the man...THX 1138 is one my favorite movies of all time! He's great in everything he does, down to earth and unpretentious. Hollywood didn't warp him unlike most his contemporaries and peers did

Thank you so much for this interview. The amount of respect and love you have for him comes through and brings tears to my eyes. It's absolutely heartwarming and charming. DeNiro and Hoffman and Hackman are greats, to be sure, never any doubt, but I've always admired Robert Duvall as much if not more. He's done so few interviews over the years that this is an absolute gem. And he's still such a gentleman and honest and sincere in his answers. He's a national treasure, and thank you so much for recognizing that.

Robert Duvall has always been my favorite actor. Augustus McCrae is my favorite movie character of all time. No scene makes me cry like the goodbye scene in Phenomenon when he tells George: "For a man who never had any kids, I sure feel like I'm losing a son." Duvall is superb.

[@kamiarrokni]

He is beyond star struck but held his own.

Watched all of this fantastic actor's movies, and thank you Mr. Colbert for the interview. Mr. Duvall is one of the G.O.A.T., a real man's man, yet capable of effortlessly showing his vulnerable side in his many different roles. I call actors like this *Chameleons* as they can change on a dime to adapt to the situation. I highly recommend "The Apostle", it is truly a profound and real movie. Excellent interview, all three segments. Bravo!

[@stevewindisch7400]

For a couple of years my late father Robert was a struggling actor in NY in the early sixties. He told us this story.. For a short time he was living with Fay D____ (before her fame). One time he came home from his job as a waiter at a well known fancy Italian restaurant, and found the door locked and bolted. He knocked, the door opened part way and his boots were placed in the hallway, and the door quickly closed again. In there, were Fay and Mr. Duvall, apparently undressed. He left and never went back there ;)

I find myself seeking out the older stuff more often now than I can remember, there's something very genuine about many older performances, be it music or movies, that I think is becoming more and more rare. Maybe something about the selection process too adds to the reason why. Unforgettable actors like Robert Duvall will live as long as the human race does.

I LOVE the Meisner technique! I distinctly remember however an acting coach of mine actually slapped a student (but not hard) during one such session. 😂 It can absolutely work wonders and is best used when a certain energy or level of emotion is needed to be reached.

I just saw Robert Duvall in a couple of old episodes of "Combat" from 1964, he looked really young, (Playing a German soldier during WWII) but just as great as ever. 👍

There's another episode where he's forced to disarm a bunch of boobie traps in a French town by the Lieutenant guy played by Rick Jason, "@@nonamegame9857." It's essentially just the two of them throughout the entire episode, you should check it out! (It's on KZbin) 🤜💥🤛

He made just one film with Clint Eastwood titled "Joe Kidd" (1972) and also had a bit part as a San Francisco cabbie in "Bullitt" (1968) with Steve McQueen. One of my favorite Duvall roles was his ruthless Frank Hackett (Faye Dunaway's boss) in "Network" (1976). Duvall was Oscar-nominated 7 times and won for "Tender Mercies" (1983).

Why Stephen Colbert is a pro: instant switch from interview to repeat exercise, without breaking a sweat across from one of the massive mastodons towering over you in both lineage, experience and reach. And hold your own. Never realized it, but in a one on one improve scene like this you suddenly feel the living breathing Stonehenge of acting almost literally getting up to put you in your place and it was ff-ing flatliningly scary!!
