6. Loved that man

I was lucky to be an extra in BL Stryker back in the late 80's early 90's. He was such a kind man to all of the students that were there for the show. He took each of us aside (at least 30 of us) and took pictures with us. He made me smile and he made me laugh.

He was such a great teacher of theatre and it was my pleasure to get to know him.

Rest in Peace Burt - you will be missed

8. I'm not super familiar with his work. I did like the few movies I saw him in. Especially some of

his later work. This is the second anecdote in the last 5 minutes I've read saying how cool he was in real life.

13. He was one of the most generous people I've ever met

I was lucky to get to know him

14. Which speaks to his character. As I'm sure in your experience, not everyone who becomes such a huge

star will handle it as gracefully.

Lucky indeed.

It's a sad day.

9. My favorite Burt Reynolds role was Wood Newton in 'Evening Shade'

He brought a whole lot of laughter into the world.

10. Great TV show

for sure.

11. Damn sad. Scenes from Hooper were filmed in ...

... Tuscaloosa when I lived there. I got to personally meet him and Sally Fields. He was really a cool guy. On top of the world at the time but not an asshole about it. Sally was genuinely awesome. I was 17. Still have that crush on her.

12. Had an interesting career

They kept coming up with TV shows for him that never took off, so he goes and does movies and was one of the biggest stars of the 70s.

15. RIP Burt Reynolds.

[Johonny]

16. At the peak of his fame he lampooned himself in Mel Brook's Silent Movie

Not many actors would do that.

17. Best Little Whorehouse In Texas

Rest In Peace, Burt.

18. I just got home from work and heard this on the news.

It was such a surprise. Was he sick? Just so unexpected. RIP Mr. Reynolds.
