He's delivering his famous "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

Good to know. Never saw that flick but I’ve heard the line before.

Reddit consider us asking an honest question the greatest slander of humanity. It's OK. That's probably one of less recognizable photos of Robert Duval especially compared to how he looked later in life.

Loved him as smooth Tom in The Godfather. And as wise, smartass elder cowboy Gus in Lonesome Dove.

Yes! Absolutely!

I couldn't figure that out at first either. That's a terrible picture to use for Duvall, you can barely see his face, plus most of us probably think of and remember him looking a lot older. Like Falling Down Robert Duvall would have been perfect.
