This Academy Award winning actor has achieved so much over his decades-long career. It feels like Robert Duvall has been around forever. He has starred in To Kill a Mockingbird, The Twilight Zone, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Apocalypse Now, and so much more. But a lot of people don't realize that Duvall also squeezed in a military career back in his younger years.
Duvall served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1954 and stayed for almost exactly a year. The Korean War had just come to an end and by the end of his service he held the rank of private first class. Duvall explored his love for acting before he left the military and he knew it was what he wanted to do when he got out of there.
