He certainly had a good innings.

RIP Burt.

He did have a very good life, quite an icon!

Who is the hamster (Richard Hammond) going to get his teeth modelled on now then?

RIP Mr Reynolds.

"smokey and the bandit" cash for car purchase scene made a massive artistic impact on me in my early teens.

a very charismatic and unique person who always seemed to have a decent sense of irony regarding his profession.

Did you ever supply Burt?

My favourite performances are Boogie Nights and Deliverance. He was made for the part in Boogie Nights and it transformed his reputation late in his career, though I gather he didn’t like the film or it’s director. Deliverance was an epic piece of 1970s cinema- saw it as a schoolboy and decades later it was still brilliant.

Sadly not lol.

Burt at the pearly gates ‘is him here?’

 

[Mr Cat]

quite a character...seems he turned down a few decent films like james bond, hans solo in star wars, and pretty woman and Richard gere eventually got that part...

It's interesting that few have took issue with this post, whereas many were demanding that nobody say anything similar about John McCain after his death.

Brilliant film and part of popular culture. I was heading for a tough meeting with a customer last week and said to the Ops Dir: It's going to be like bloody Deliverance in there. He grinned and replied: Yup. You gonna do some prayin' for me boy...
still a chilling line now.
