Gene Hackman vs. Robert Duvall
Two terrific actors, hard to seperate. Was just wondering who everyone thinks is the better actor and why. I would love to see them in a film together however it is probably unlikely due to Hackman's 'retirement.
shareI actually think Duvall is good at comedy. He can be comedic in films that I wouldn't exactly call "comedies."
Just because he doesn't do many comedies, doesn't mean he can't be funny. I enjoyed the comedic elements he brought to his characters in some of his more recent films such as Seconhand Lions and Get Low.
I think Duvall just does a different kind of comedy, one which many people seem to enjoy.
P.S. Just out of curiosity nimrod, is there any actor you like better than Hackman? Just wondering considering you hold hackman to such a high esteem..
P.S.S. Fun fact for those of you who don't know, Hackman and Duvall (along with hoffman) are actually really good friends and were roomates when starting off as actor.
AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO GIVES A S**T ABOUT THE RULES!!
