About the Character: Captain Augustus McCrae
In the legendary 1989 miniseries based on Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Gus McCrae is the "upbeat womanizer" and quick-witted counterpart to the stoic Woodrow F. Call. Duvall’s performance is widely considered a "masterpiece of range," perfectly balancing "mischief and wisdom" with a deep, subtle melancholy.
Robert Duvall repeatedly cited Gus McCrae as his personal favorite of all his celebrated roles, once remarking, "The older the violin, the sweeter the music. Maybe that applies somewhere".
Performance Highlights:
A Man of Contradictions: Gus is a "fearless adventurer" who flirts with danger, yet he is also an educated man who carries Latin books and argues philosophy to challenge the thinking of those around him.
The Heart of the Odyssey: While Gus is a "known loafer" who enjoys whiskey and cards, he is a more than competent Ranger capable of surviving the wild and taking down multiple enemies when duty calls.
Legendary Dialogue: Duvall’s delivery of Gus’s iconic drawl brought to life some of the genre's most famous lines, including his playful ribbing of Woodrow Call: "Fun? What would you know about fun? You never had fun in your whole life. Fun is my department".
