Over the decades, Duvall has appeared in numerous iconic films, including "The Godfather" (1972) and its sequel, "Apocalypse Now" (1979), "The Great Santini" (1979), and "Tender Mercies" (1983), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Throughout his career, Duvall has been recognized with numerous awards, including four Golden Globe Awards, a BAFTA Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. He has also directed and produced several films, showcasing his versatility in the industry.
