Robert Duvall passed away at the age of 95 after more than 60 years as a working actor at the highest levels.
One quick way to pay tribute to him is to revisit perhaps his most iconic and substantive role, that of Tom Hagen in The Godfather.
Quietly the most important character linking the people and events in the film, Duvall's portrayal navigated complex internal issues like: when is a son not a son, and what is the reward for completing a lifetime of thankless tasks. All of these complicated things rest on Duvall's ability to read to us onscreen a whole host of emotions and thoughts.
So in this episode, we'll take a look back at all of Duvall's scenes in 'The Godfather'.
