| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 17th Feb 2026. 09:49 The Hollywood actor who appeared in such films as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and Tender Mercies, for which he won an Oscar, has died at the age of 95. None of the tributes I`ve seen has mentioned his appearance in the 2002 film about a minor Scottish football club`s run to the Scottish Cup final, `A Shot at Glory`. Ally McCoist had a starring role but many less well-known Scottish footballers made fleeting appearances in it, including our own Andy Smith. Reply |

| 3. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 17th Feb 2026. 11:21 There`s an article about it on the BBC Scottish News website. As they say `the film is not remembered as one of Duvall`s greatest works`! Reply |

I think I first saw him in "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas, a film I revisited recently and is better than I remember it. The Godfather I saw later and his performance is masterful. RIP Bobby.
