Deadline: Burt Reynolds, RIP
I always liked Burt Reynolds and thought he was under-rated as an actor. Yeah, he did a lot of popcorn movies. So what, they were entertaining and people liked them. They are also harder to do than Hollywood might think. He also did some really serious movies too. RIP.

True story. My grandmother took me to see Smokey and the Bandit on the big screen, even though I was only 8. Based on the title she thought it was a Disney show about a bear and a raccoon. Instead, fast cars and Jackie Gleason shouting SUMBITCH! Awesome night.— Stephen Green (@VodkaPundit) September 6, 2018
I finally got to work with one of my heroes in 2006. #BurtReynolds led a really fun cast in Spokane and we laughed all day, every day he was on the set. A wry humor and a warm heart defined this wonderful man. He will be sorely missed. #RIPBurtReynolds pic.twitter.com/6ShGb2w2a6— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 6, 2018
