1The day before yesterday, February 15, Robert Duvall passed away at his Virginia farm at the age of 95. The Oscar-winning actor was best known for his roles in Apocalypse Now, Tender Mercies, Days of Thunder, The Judge, and more than 80 other movies.
A special place in his life was held by the character of Tom Hagen, whom he portrayed in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. He did not appear in the third installment due to a salary dispute — Duvall sought equal pay with Al Pacino. However, in the 2000s he returned to the role of the consigliere (providing voice work and facial motion capture) in the video games The Godfather 1 and The Godfather 2.
