This summer, he shared his insights on acting, directing, and screenwriting during a conversation with students from Hollins\u2019 graduate programs in screenwriting and film studies. The event was made possible by writer\/producer Colleen Hahn, a screenwriting student who first met Duvall on the set of <i>Tender Mercies<\/i>, the 1983 film that earned him a Best Actor Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>Duvall emphasized his firm belief that \u201cresearch, research, research\u201d is essential to crafting an impactful script. \u201cImmerse yourself in the subject matter and then put forth something that you love. I haven\u2019t written that many screenplays, but sometimes I just sit down and start writing and just see where it goes. I go from A to B to C to D and just follow the logic of the script.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an actor, Duvall noted that when he reads a script, \u201cI look for whether I can take what\u2019s in ink and turn it into organized behavior. \u2018From ink to behavior\u2019 is what I call it. You let your imagination take over and encompass you and propel your ideas into results.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>uring a distinguished acting career that\u2019s spanned more than 60 years, Robert Duvall has appeared in some of the greatest movies ever made and played an array of iconic film and television roles.
