Actor Robert Duvall has died at the age of 85.
A marvelous and elegant actor who could convey with his eyes what might take another actor a soliloquy to convey.
He is my favorite John Watson, having played against Nicol Williamson's paranoid drug-addicted Sherlock Holmes in The Seven Percent Solution. (I always hated Nigel Bruce's buffoonish portrayal)
Also, go and watch The Judge, it's a great film.
Robert Duvall, who drew from a seemingly bottomless reservoir of acting craftsmanship to transform himself into a business-focused Mafia lawyer, a faded country singer, a cynical police detective, a bullying Marine pilot, a surfing-obsessed Vietnam commander, a mysterious Southern recluse and scores of other film, stage and television characters, died on Sunday. He was 95.
His death was announced in a statement by his wife, Luciana Duvall, who said he had died at home. She gave no other details. He had long lived on a sprawling horse farm in The Plains, in Fauquier County, Va., west of Washington.
There is a void in the theater world.
