Robert Duvall (1931-2026): The Apostle Was "My Everything" | Dini Petty 1998

Robert Duvall did not make The Apostle as a career move, he made it because he had to. With the news that Robert Duvall (1931 to 2026) has died at 95, this rare 1998 interview becomes a powerful tribute to one of the greatest American actors of his generation and to the film he called his everything. In this conversation for The Dini Petty Show, Duvall talks about writing, directing and starring in The Apostle, a deeply personal story about flawed faith and redemption in the working class American South. He explains why it took more than a decade to bring the film to the screen, why he put his own money into it and what he wanted audiences to understand about preachers, hypocrisy and grace. Duvall also reflects on the realities of independent filmmaking and the tension between awards, critics and personal conviction. For viewers who know him from The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Tender Mercies, Lonesome Dove and more, this interview is a rare chance to see how he understood his own work as a director and storyteller.
