Burt is just pure entertainment, self deprication, humour and charisma all in the one package. Could listen to his stories all day...such life experience

He had such a delightful sense of humor - rather self deprecating but so natural & endearing. Loved him - yes, he was very underestimated as an actor. ❤

patricia S - I think the problem with his career, although successful, was he took too many “goofball” rolls. Too much comedy. If he took more serious rolls, like he did in the movie “Deliverance,” I think he would’ve been even more successful. Side note: He should’ve got an ironclad prenup with Loni Anderson.

Burt Reynolds is one of the funniest interviews. EVER.

1984 was my favorite year. Great great year.

What a great interview. Burt Reynolds was a regular guy. I know he became famous after Deliverance but he and Jackie Gleason were legendary in the Smokey and the Bandit movies. He knew he wasn't the best actor in the world but he played on that. Let's not forget............. Women loved him!!!!

You don't get any cooler than Burt Reynolds. He'd high-pitch laugh you out of the building for even trying.

What a marvelous sense of humor!

I can remember standing in a long line at the local movie theater. I was about 20. I was going to feast my eyes on some burt. He did not disappoint! Miss you burt!

Always entertaining and charismatic. Great actor and story teller with perfect timing and sense of humor. Thank you Burt for being a real person as well as a real star.

R.I.P Burt Reynolds....One of my favorites of all time ! Deliverance...Sharkys Machine.....The Longest Yard....White Lightning....Stick...Gator... Cannon Ball Run...and of course Smokey and the Bandit. and many more !

That dude was on top of the world back in those days. RIP man, I loved your movies growing up in the 70's.

He had such a great sense of humour about himself.

Burt Reynolds was a very good talk show guest. He truly was and is a movie legend.

I remember first seeing Burt Reynolds back in the early 80's when I was about 10 years old and I saw how everyone just went crazy. The women wanted him, men wanted to be him, the whole thing. he just seemed like so much fun and had the best life. Even in his best movies he doesn't really seem to be acting or trying to, it always seemed like he was just screwing around on a movie set and they were filming it and everyone was loving it. I grew the same mustache as him at about 16 yrs old and I'm still sporting that stache today. Needless to say seeing Burt Reynolds at 10 sort of created a blue print of the fun loving cool guy that I wanted to be when I grew up. It didn't work out that way of course because at that age I thought you could just be like somebody and that was that, but I am still waiting for this mustache to come back into style.

Burt Reynolds actually received multiple nominations and even awards for his work, most notably for Evening Shade and Boogie Nights. He received 2 Golden Globes, 1 Emmy, and also was nominated for an Oscar-Supporting Actor. Although he lost the Oscar, he won a number of local critics film associations awards for Best Supporting Actor in Boogie Nights.

We love you, Burt. Godspeed.

Looking good as always!!!! Burt Reynolds

RIP BURT-- was a pleasure doing work at your home when you lived in Ocala Fl

Charisma, class, and attitude. My hero.

When I was a kid I just loved Burt Reynolds so much. He was cool, funny and had a swagger that just made me laugh at almost every scene. He could project his mind so you knew what he was thinking without barely saying a word. He was so talented and always went for subtle comic cues that were so natural to him any other actor could find this quite challenging if you were not another seriously talented top line actor. I always insisted we watched anything he was in and when VHS shops suddenly sprung up out of nowhere around every corner shop on every street I would beg my mom to hire 2-3 movies per week until I saw everything he was in even though my mom just thought he was the vulgar, yanky, bigheaded show off. She never got what he was about and missed the whole point of his way of doing things. I came across this show from Joe Rogan mentioning him on Letterman but now I will spend the rest of this week in quarantine watching all his movies I guess.

Burt Reynolds was the best talk show guest EVER. City Heat looks pretty good.
