I like Duval too. Wasn't he in Lonesome Dove?

Yes. Lonesome Dove was one of the great westerns of all time. IMO.

Duval won an Oscar for his performance in "Tender Mercies" or maybe it was "Tender Mercy" where he played an aging singer. A great movie.

Of course I'm a Duval fan and remember his first "starring" role in "To Kill a Mockingbird".

Looks like it's time for a trip to the movie store to rent 'Tender Mercy'. Thanks for the info.

I first knew of him as Ned Pepper in True Grit, John Wayne's great classic.

Me too. I was watching a DVD of the early-1960s TV show, "Combat." which I used to watch when I was much younger, and Duval guest-starred in one episode as a German medic. In the DVD's "bonus/commentary" section, one of the series regulars said that Duval used a prosthetic device over his real teeth to make his "TV" teeth look real--chipped and crooked, not perfect and white, like most Hollywood stars. This fellow also said that Duval was joy to work with. Absolutely NO pretensions.
