He also had a bit part in what may be the best crime movie ever made, "Heat".

Actor Robert Duvall passed at 95. I don't know if it was his first role, and it's brief, but he was very young as Boo Radley in one of my favorite old films, To Kill a Mockingbird.

I didn't know he was in that. Yeah, that was a great movie. Great action though I hated it when De Niro's character wouldn't get when the gettin was good.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I think the last time I saw him was on Stephen Colbert's show early last year or the year before. Colbert asked him about acting - acting tips - but Duvall didn't really answer him. I don't know. Maybe talking about how to act is sort of like asking Steph Curry how he makes a shot from half-court so many times. It's not just the practice/muscle memory. It's just something you feel/calculate in a moment at that moment in that environment and then you just do it.
