Editing Robert Duvall (section)

====Film====
His film debut was as [[Boo Radley]] in the critically acclaimed ''[[To Kill a Mockingbird (film)|To Kill a Mockingbird]]'' (1962). He was cast in the film on the recommendation of screenwriter [[Horton Foote]], who met Duvall at [[Neighborhood Playhouse]] during a 1957 production of Foote's play, ''The Midnight Caller''. Foote, who collaborated with Duvall many more times over the course of their careers, said he believed Duvall had a particular love of common people and ability to infuse fascinating revelations into his roles. Foote has described Duvall as "our number one actor".<ref name="Miracles">{{cite video |people = [[Bruce Beresford]] (actor), Robert Duvall (actor), [[Horton Foote]] (actor), Gary Hertz (director), [[Tess Harper]] (actress) |date = April 16, 2002 |title = Miracles & Mercies |url = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383509/ |medium = Documentary |publisher = [[Blue Underground]] |location = [[West Hollywood, California|West Hollywood]], California |access-date = January 28, 2008 |archive-date = October 2, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181002123343/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383509/ |url-status = live }}</ref>

After ''To Kill a Mockingbird'', Duvall appeared in a number of films during the 1960s, mostly in midsized parts, but also in a few larger supporting roles. Some of his more notable appearances include the role of Capt. Paul Cabot Winston in ''[[Captain Newman, M.D.]]'' (1963), Chiz in ''[[Countdown (1968 film)|Countdown]]'' (1968), and Gordon in ''[[The Rain People]]''. Duvall had a small part as a cab driver who ferries McQueen around just before the chase scene in the film ''[[Bullitt]]'' (1968). He was the notorious malefactor "Lucky" Ned Pepper in ''[[True Grit (1969 film)|True Grit]]'' (1969), in which he engaged in a climactic shootout with [[John Wayne]]'s [[Rooster Cogburn (character)|Rooster Cogburn]] on horseback.
