Duvall gets spirit from fiery preacher When Robert Duvall was looking to find a fiery minister to help him play ``The Apostle,'' people said go see the Rev.

Duvall didn't model his role on Baggett, but he learned plenty that helped him capture the spirit of his flawed but good-hearted character, Sonny Dewey. ``Many of the people I met doing research were the most spiritual beings I have ever known,'' said Duvall, who followed Baggett on the road for a couple of weeks on the revival circuit.
