Sad news from the entertainment world; actor Robert Duvall died on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, at the age of 95.
In 1998, Duvall co-starred in "Deep Impact" as veteran astronaut Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner of the Messiah crew to stop the Wolf-Biederman comet and later paid the ultimate sacrifice.
May you rest in peace and thanks for saving the world!

Not the only time Mr. Duvall played a NASA astronaut. He was in 'Countdown' (1967) with his 'The Godfather' co-star James Caan.
