He was cast in City Slickers but had to drop out when his wife got sick. Daniel Stern replaced him. Ricks wife passed in 1991 and he dedicated his life to raising his kids. Nothing could be more rewarding than raising your children but you can’t help but wonder what Rick could have done in films. He was really, really, really funny.
To have such a bad experience working with him and then to speak of him with such respect and reverence that he does, what a great character this fella had on a personal level 👍
Ive seen thousands of movies over most genres from the silent era until present day (romcoms excluded, i draw the line there) i can honestly say Apocalypse now is in my top 5 favourites possibly even top 3, its a sublime piece of film making and acting, funny thing is, i seen it first in the cinema with the redux re-release and although I did enjoy it i didn't see the big fascination about it from what I had heard, then when I picked it up on dvd and gave it another viewing then it clicked in to view, a masterpiece.
I just watched that version, Redux recently and loved that scene! It really is my fav war movie ever created. Close in second place is Full Metal Jacket. The Industrial Military's Complex has become much crazier, since the Vietnam situation. Coppola and Kubrick really did their part in showing us something.
A true great man and actor..For me started with Maverick..And ending for me performing for Mr. Garner at the Palomino Club in California..I was up next and saw that his long table were of folks he brought with him and they were leaving..Yeah it was Talent Night..I walked up to Mr Garner and told him i would love it if he could hear one of my songs..Playing with the house band that were my friends..He said when are you on..I said I'm up next..He looked at me with his big black cowboy hat smiled and said CERTAINLY..He called over to someone at the door and said tell them all to come back in..They did and there were 20 sitting in his row ..AMAZING..I did my song and Mr. Garner came over as his friends were leaving..Shook my hand and said great job.... The song was..Just Making A List on my YT page..Love ya Mr. Garner..My friend Jim
Leo Gordon was one tough hombre in real life. Garner used him in at least one episode of Rockford Files, as an “aging hired muscle” type guy. I never knew their connection, and mutual respect, until now.
Love this man! I was fortunate enough to find a signed photo of him and I am so proud to own something he signed! RIP Legend! He, Farley and River were my favs of the 90s! Jim Carrey too
Kilgore was one of the great characters in film history, and Bobby Duvall played him to a tee. One of the greatest actors of our time. Just watch “Tender Mercies.” Five star acting. 🎬❤️🎬
Clift and Brando: great choices for greatest film actors, but you’re right up there Dennis. You were great in Apocalypse Now, Speed, Easy Rider, and so many more. Thanks for the memories. 🎬❤️🎬
Totally agree with Duvall. Godfather Part III was awful by comparison. While Sofia Copella turned out to be a fantastic Director, she was appalling in Godfather (I real somewhere that Winona Rider was considered for that role). I also hated the repeat of Godfather Part II when they "settled all accounts" at the end. It was really poor writing. I heard somewhere that a Part IV was being considered where Vincenzo basically destroys the Corleone family. Now that would be interesting to watch. However, I'd love it to be a flash-back movie like Godfather Part II where the first half is the time in Sicily and then the second half where Vincenzo screws everything up.
I think it was atrocious to treat Duvall like a second-hand actor. He won an Oscar in 1983 and was in Apocalypse Now. He deserved equal pay to Pacino. Anyway, it was their loss. The film was subpar due to Sofia, Hamilton and no Duvall.
In hind sight they should have killed off fredo because jame cann , al , deniro , duvall taiilia shire you could make a Disney movie interesting . What a frightening cast those movies will stand forever.
