Robert Duvall started his acting career on the stage and then quickly transitioned to television guest starring n shows like, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Untouchables,The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Fugitive, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Time Tunnel, The Wild Wild West, The F.B.I., and The Mod Squad.
Robert would make his film debut in the classic To Kill A Mockingbird. But in the late 60s into the 70s is when he established his name as a Hollywood superstar with such roles as "Lucky" Ned Pepper in True Grit (1969), Frank Burns in the film M*A*S*H* (1971), Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) and Lt. Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979).
Robert was nominated for Academy Award but it wasn't until 1983's film Tender Mercies that he won his only Oscar for Best Actor as country western singer Mac Sledge.
