He's up there with the other actors of old hollywood kicking it up

I'm watching an anime called Gate (about the Japanese SDF fending off invaders and eventually establishing a base in a fantasy-like alt world) and there is legit an episode where the heuy company, who was sent in to reinforce the recon team, legit played Valkyries from mounted speakers and even recited lines from the film including sitting on their helmets. It was like a dream come true for them.

Lousy week for famous people it seems. Jackson and Duyall.

I liked his work in and The Apostle, which he also wrote and directed.

My favorite movie of his will always be "Falling Down".

He played "Frank Burns" in the original movie version of "MASH."
Total hypocrite he gets hauled off in a straightjacket after attacking Hawkeye and Trapper John.

I would say there's also THX 1138 ... aaand I want to say, I think, "Second Hand Lions" where he takes on a bunch of teen gang members and tosses them out the window. Also, there's Broken Trail and Open Range

'Second Hand Lions' is SUCH an underrated movie, and it's OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD!!!

Very good mention/honorific!

^5!

Yes! "Second Hand Lions"! I won't say it was my favorite, but it was definitely in the top 5. Number 1 for me, though, has to be "Lonesome Dove". Robert Duvall was fantastic as the fun-loving retired Texas Ranger Gus and was the perfect opposite to Tommy Lee Jones' stern Woodrow Call. I also loved "Open Range". Mr. Duvall was a great character actor.

Goddamnit man.... This man was the reasoning I even got interested in the Vietnam War and probably the reason I became a Gunnut.

I grew up during the VietNam war, missed that 'party' by 2 years. Plus knew numerous friends and family that served there. My late uncle did FIVE Tours in Nam, the stories he told me. Plus I have two cousins on the wall, two brothers killed exactly a year apart. Plus my sisters fiance, Ron Summers, came back seriously messed up with PTSD. Suffered survivors syndrome, his hootch was hit by a VC 122mm rocket, he at that moment had a nightmare and rolled off his cot and hit the floor just as the rocket hit, his foot locker took the blast instead of him, but 11 of his team were killed. When he came home he stayed with us a few months, refused to sleep in a bed, but on the floor instead, likely due to the 122 rocket incident. We learned to wake him by shaking his foot, cause my mom once shook him by the shoulder and he instantly pinned her to the floor with a KaBar knife to her throat. He seriously suffered from PTSD. As I came home from school later on, cops were all over in my yard, I wasn't allowed inside. I went around back and snuck inside via my parents bedroom window. There on my bed, was Ron's Nam uniform neatly folded on my bed and a note that read Sorry, the little man finally got me! (The Viet Cong) Ron blew his brains out in our back yard. I still have his preserved uniform. I still remember too well how the Nam vets were treated during and after the war by radical students and citizens treating them like human garbage. To to this day, each time I come across a Nam vet, I always go up and greet them saying "Welcome Home", shockingly 50 years later many are still moved by my greeting them home instead of ignoring or verbally abusing them...Which still happens to this day in age, mainly by Code Pink bitches!!

Because of my personal encounters with numerous friends who served that war, When I was a syndicated cartoonist, a couple of the characters were Nam vets, and I covered PTSD in the strip, especially with one character, Hoss Williams, whom suffered PTSD. Literally undiscussed in the early 80s in comic strips.

Which is why I have great respect for the combat vets, no matter what war.

I have a BIL who was a medic in Vietnam, he was there during the Tet offensive.
He never has "gotten over it."
When I read about how Johnson and Nixon used their cronies to block the Peace Talks, it just infuriated me more about how corrupt Nixon and Johnson was.
I mean, how many thousands died in Vietnam on all sides due to Nixon and Johnson playing crass petty politics there?

Truly a Generational LEGEND...

Heaven is having quite the Party, given all the amazing Souls that now occupy it!

Oddly a movie I'm well aware of, but never seen, nor own on DVD.  Brombear is saying the same thing to me to own.

The Godfathers needed him as much as they did Fredo. I was quite touched and impressed with his brilliant performance in a forgotten, yet fascinating, Arnold vehicle called The Sixth Day.

I am always touched by the kindness of your tributes.

I think he was in an episode of Combat as well.

Goodbye to Boo Radley, and The Great Santini amongst many other great roles...

I seriously appreciated The Great Santini, but the ending bummed me out to where I sold my DVD copy afterwards. I know people who think the same with Schindler's List, great film, seriously depressing. But I also watch it once a year, just to remind myself that even in the darkest times, there is a hint of humanity.

Oh, is that the part he played in "To Kill A Mocking Bird"?

Deep Impact (1998)

Great Twilight Zone guest star in the episode where a doll house lady figurine comes to life in his eyes and he falls in love.
