Boo Radley

@RobertDuvall:
"To Kill a Mockingbird" was a pivotal point in my career, we have been waiting for the second book. Congrats Harper!

Boo was my hero!
I love it when Scout says "Hey Boo" at the end of the movie. Her voice is so full of wonder.

My favorite book, my favorite character, my favorite movie. I even took to saying "hey" instead of "hello" after reading TKAM. I will be first in line to get this new book.

Boo was such an amazing character, and Duvall made a memorable impression in such a short screen appearance.

He continues to be one of my favorites.
He did Boo perfectly.
THAT was the guy I saw in my mind when I read the book before the movie.
