Although he's an actor I have admired for most of my life, I'll always remember him as Boo Radley. I saw To Kill A Mockingbird, at a very impressionable age, before I was assigned to read Harper Lee's iconic novel in high school English. And while both the book and the movie definitely instilled an awareness of bigotry and racial injustice, Robert Duvall's gentle, still and haunted performance imparted another lesson just as important: weirdos were human beings, too, and you shouldn't make snap judgments about them, especially based on other people's impressions.
