Mac Sledge
Robert Duvall is one of the greatest actors of all time, and he won his lone Best Actor Oscar for his role as alcoholic Country Singer, Mac Sledge in Tender Mercies. Duvall looked the part perfectly as the tormented singer looking for redemption, and unlike other singing portrayals, Duvall sang his own songs. The best case we think for induction is that the members of the Outlaw Country Movement, of which Duvall seemed to channel, believed that he hit it out of the park, and that kind of praise should not (and cannot) be ignored.
The Bullet Points:

Actor:
Robert Duvall

If You’ll Hold the Ladder (I’ll Climb to the Top)
Why you should vote for him:
This is one of the best acting performances on the ballot.
Why you should not vote for him:
By calling it the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, did we omit this Country superstar?
