PRESLEY   1,222 #1 Posted February 25, 2020 Over the years I have seen these two in several films and it always strikes me as Duvall seems to be imitating De niros style, the way he walks, the way he laughs and the way he talks right down to De niros facial expressions, has anyone ever noticed this. I first noticed this in God father 2 and other films right up until Screaming and Kicking with Will Ferrel in which it just seems like just one big De niro impression. Very strange.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cressida   1,550 #2 Posted February 26, 2020 I've only seen De Niro in 'Meet the Fockers' and can't recall Duvall in any film so it's hard to make an opinion, De Niro always seems to play bad-tempered characters, perhaps that was the genre in his day and Duvall just followed suit because of that.   Bet they were like that in real life 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mancmart   10 #4 Posted February 26, 2020 That's because De Niro actually adopted Duvall as a kid, he was like a father to him. Duvall became De Niro's lawyer later in life, and De Niro became Brando as he got older... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
