The Apostle was virtuoso writing. Should have won the Oscar that year for best actor, and finished second to Nicholson's forgettable role in As Good As It Gets. Duvall told Jack before the Oscars that he would win because it was "political." Can't forget what he did in Lonesome Dove or Sling Blade either. He was my favorite actor of all time and the only actor I wanted to meet.

We'll never see anyone like him ever again.

This is from the season in his life when he was researching for The Apotle. He said he had an intimate interaction with Christ. Powerful stuff:

"I wasn’t getting anywhere with Hollywood, yet my work on the movie filled my soul. One Sunday in New York I visited six churches, ending up at Harlem’s vast Abyssinian Baptist Church.
There in a packed congregation before a huge choir, when we all began to sing 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus,' I found myself connected to the Lord in a way I had never felt before, deep within me." - Robert Duvall, 1998.
