In 1981, the New York Times declared him America’s greatest actor. Duvall’s break-through came as Boo Radley in the classic To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). A decade later, Duvall came back with a sublime performance as Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972). He has been nominated for seven Academy Awards (winning for his performance in Tender Mercies). One of Hollywood’s most distinguished, popular, and versatile actors, Duvall possesses the rare gift of totally immersing himself in every role he undertakes.
