The Bandit has passed this morning.
RIP Burt.
Wow. I was not expecting this one.
RIP Bandit.
RIP Burt.
Huh, I thought he had already passed on. RIP.
RIP :(
I read on ESPN he was a Florida State running back; was a roommate with Lee Corso; and had a clause in his acting contract that he had to wear a Florida State shirt at least once in every movie.
I thought the only FSU Football players who were big actors was Dwayne Johnson.
Loved The Longest Yard.
RIP...Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run are some of my favorite movies. Damn...now Burt and Dom DeLuise are both gone...that sucks :/

Dwayne Johnson went to Miami. He was Warren Sapp's backup on those early 1990s teams
Man, this sucks. Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run FTW! \m/
So long Burt, thanks for the entertainment!
Rest in peace, Burt.
Liked him in Evening Shade.
Him and Ozzie Davis, Charles Durning, Micheal Jeter and Holbrook. All are gone now.
WOW! This is on his bio on IMDB.
QuoteTurned down the role of "Han Solo" in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).
Dang.
Give 'em hell in heaven, Bandit.
Takes a seriously cool dude to turn down the Han Solo role. But I bet he must have regretted that at some point.
Not the greatest actor in the world but always entertaining, I'll miss you Burt. 'Gator' Mc Clusky was my fav Reynolds movies, there were 2 I think. The out takes were always hilarious. R.I.P. Burt.
The out takes from Cannonball Run were also great.
