Starred in some cracking films (Deliverance, Mean Machine, Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex etc.) and some absolute honkers (Smokey and the Bandit etc.) Died, aged 82.
That’s a wee shame. Deliverance scared the **** out me. Vowed there and then I’d never visit Ayrshire
Interesting facts about the late, great Burt Reynolds: Reynolds adored Kendall Mint Cake and often visited the Romney's site to oversee new machinery and working practices. The Pontiac Trans Am famously driven by Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit is currently owned by snooker ace Tony Meo. Reynolds once made a cameo appearance in The Bill: he played DCI Burnside's alcoholic brother-in-law, Neville Clapper. In ancient Gaelic, Burt Reynolds translates as festooned crumpet. A teetotaller since 1985, Reynolds went nowhere without a decent supply of Tizer.
The Wicker Man was set on a remote island you ****ing mutant. And from someone emanating from South Lanarkshire you've got some nerve Fingers!
