I think August McCrae (Lonesome Dove) was such a career defining/capstone moment in his career that everything since then seems like a variant (Open Range, Secondhand Lions, etc). Looking back at other films as varied as The Apostle, The Godfather, The Natural, etc. reminds you just how much range he has.
Duval is my favorite working actor, period.
