Max Mercy was indeed my favorite role of his, of any kind of movie. Though "Tender Mercies" is, IMHO, the best film he was in. I'd throw "Network" out there as a great movie and his part in it. And let us never forget his inimitable Frank Burns in the movie "MASH".

Very nice tribute. Especially drawn to one of the more underrated you mentioned, Seven Days in Utopia. All in all, not a bum in the lot

A proper tribute, Mark.

My favorites (besides the Godfathers) were his indies "Tender Mercies" and "The Apostle" and of course his first - "To Kill A Mockingbird."
