Hes the greatest actor alive
His body of work (Mockingbird, True Grit, Godfather, Tender Mercies, Apocolypse now) is unrivalled yet I don't quite know why he hasn't got the same cachet as De Niro or Pacino etc. His work in Tender Mercies alone shows that he has an emotional truth, versatility and subtlety few can match. The late Richard Harris who worked with both Brando and Duvall said Bob is the greatest hes ever worked with. Perhaps he's too interested in being truthful and never showing off how loud he can scream unnecessarily.
