Burt was always a VERY sensitive guy...as he grew older, you clearly saw this come out more & more in interviews. I agree with you, he became so vulnerable here in this one. I sincerely hope as well, that he really knew how much so many of us adored him, and always will. 💗

in the classic ( yet disturbing film) deliverance, who else would would you want, watching your back.

He was 5'11" flat footed, prob 180/190 in his top physical shape. A bit above average for males at (5' 9"). But he always wished he was taller & bigger, as most guys do! However, his stats never prevented him from being an elite athelete...He was a STUD! His act of generosity towards you & crew is so nice to hear, but no surprise. He was an incredibly generous & kind man to so many. 💗

Cold Winter even though 5’11” flat footed that is a very respectful height...but yes in my eyes he cane off more like 6’2” or even taller...but nonetheless his presence easily made him 7’ tall...not literal in the sense but his overall presence was so much more than his actual height. I miss him.

@@Shadowx011 Burt certainly would have loved hearing your thoughts...Well said!

Yes @Rita Malik, it’s kinda a shock I saw Paul Newman and Arnie in person and Paul was a little guy and Arnie was a bunch shorter than I figured.

Burt Reynolds Underrated actor?????

@@djamelbouch3670 That's what some people say instead of "I like him." If you blame other people for not liking him enough, then presumably it's more acceptable. Weird.

I always see Stallone's career as a parallel to Burt's.Both tremendous actors who kinda fell into the same roles and mediocre scripts

Brando is so overrated he’s right up there with the Beatles

@Stranded NYer What episode?

@Stranded NYer I found it!

@Stranded NYer No Brando didn’t like Reynolds because of a film he made about native americans

@Stranded NYer It was actually a great impersonation to an otherwise lackluster episode.

Exactly I thought the same , then realized Marlon Brando can very well say that and not as a humor.

Brando couldn't stand Burt. Hated everything about him and his persona. Didn't know him, had never talked to him but for whatever reason, had a real problem with him.

@@Dana-wq5tp I think it’s because Burt imitated Brando on a show and Brando took offense to that.

Brando was notoriously difficult to work with and often his dislike of a person was purely arbitrary. He certainly had a dislike of other men, who he viewed as competition. Read Brando's autobiography, he's quite candid about it

@@commanderkeen3787 weird that he didn't like competition when he hated acting

Burt could have easily tried to replicate Brando's acting but not in a million years could Brando do what Burt could do, and that is have fun whilst acting well.

I know, which is why some of the most fascinating people simply will not sit for today’s talk shows. I saw Holly Hunter in one of the daytime inane women’s talk shows and she made it clear she hated the whole thing. Being slobbered over and being asked things meant to elicit gossip. This at least is not that bad!

Burt was in several movies before Deliverance. Check out his IMDb page

Link please

@@KD.... i could be wrong but if you listen to the audio close enough one of the other voices besides BRANDO sounds like COPPOLA

@@labenbrittenum6934 yeah I found it.

@@KD.... where? Can you send it or tell me

@@lucarossi9453 If you find my comment on this video I wrote the quote of what Marlon said. But if you wanna hear it just look up "Marlon Brando trashes Burt Reynolds" that's what the video is called.

@ My point is Burt was the #1 box office draw three years in a row. Brando was not that.

@@billlozier5551 5 years. Which technically ties Bing Crosby for the record, but in reality it's Burt's remarkable achievement alone. For Crosby, two of the five years he was on top all his main competition was involved in the war

I find her very sweet and kind

Burt Reynolds was loved very much by many many actors and friends no one could ever get near enough to the miserable womaniser Brando who was a brilliant actor but came across as totally selfish, although he was very generous regarding civil rights.

Yeah but Burt was THAT GUY throughout the '70s, so I expect there may have been some jealousy at being surpassed in the looks department, though not talent-wise and critical acclaim necessarily. Reportedly, Burt was up for the role of Sonny Corleone (which he would've slayed, imo) but Marlon blocked it, so who knows...

@@bOmBAsTiK He also blocked him from playing the Martin Sheen part in ''Apocalypse Now''.

Marlon shreds him in an audio from apocalypse now & coppola says hes a nice guy & brando said he cant be. Then coppola says do u know him & marlon says no. He goes on some more & coppola says u dont even know him. It is odd that brando hated him, someone he did not know. Many think it goes back to when burt was a very new actor & young he looked exactly like brando. He lampooned brando in some black & white show . He did the whole what's my motivation & mocked Brando's acting the method acting that he made popular. He even talks about Tennessee William's. So it a clear impersonation of a young brando & I think marlon hated him since. He didnt like people imitating him which is funny bc everyone does. He also made fun of Letterman on connie Chung bc Letterman had chris elliot mocking him on the show.

@@natalieps2387 "The Bard", from Twilight Zone. Everybody except you knows this

@@natalieps2387 Yeah, Brando called Reynolds a narcissist, talk about calling the kettle black. Burt is sort of like a life of DiMaggio and Namath who always had woman but never found a soulmate.

That's why Brando hated him. He resented that episode.

That was his nature. He was very self critical. That is what drove him. It propelled him but is a curse at the same time. I am the same way.

Insecurity, or low self-confidence, perhaps. These are a deeply rooted trauma that can accompany a person for the whole life. But, hopefully, Burt did the best he could get in his ability and received proper support. That's why we have to face our own fears, to grow and learn to love ourselves no less than the world we live in. So that we can teach people who'll remain on this earth after we'll be gone to live life unbound of fear and hate and flourish in love instead.

@@josephpeeler5434 I feel you. I hope you're doing well.

Burt Reynolds in his younger years was apparently a major tool. It wasn't just Brando that didn't like Reynolds, a lot of people didn't like Reynolds.

They didn't look alike. Brando untouchable

@Jatt Jeona Maurh did you ever see Brando doing an impression of Burt Reynolds. Its putting Toyota in the same class as Bentley. You are a fan of Reynolds, that is your right. However so is it mine to oppose anyones opinion thoughts pattern thats says Brando and Reynolds could be mentioned in the same sentence.

@Jatt Jeona Maurh so Am I.

@@seph3803light years ahead. Thanks cuzzin

@@1414rebel Yet you write a small paragraph mentioning Reynolds name 3 times and Brando's twice. And each time you mention MB's , it's in the same sentence as Reynolds' . But I do appreciate your noting of it's ones' right to like whomever they so chose - don't see that much on YT. And yes, I am a huge Burt fan. I'm also a Brando fan, but not just of the cliche' titles always thrown around. Godfather, Waterfront ( I do love that movie but anyone who says it was a Brando film is nuts. The entire cast carried their weight just as evenly ), and the infamous "STELLA!!! " . seems that's all people talk about when talking about Brando - a few roles. Two of my favorites of his are The Chase and One Eyed Jacks. And with barely saying a word, he took contemporaries, DeNiro and Norton to school in The Score.

Brando had a very strange obsession with Burt, when he didn't even know him! I have no doubt it was simply pure jealosy & insecurity. He didn't want anyone taking any of his thunder...and people in the industry loved Burt.

@@coldwinter5710 I personally think its because Reynold started his acting career, being sort of a "Brando look a like".

@@Dear1Stupit1Dog Correct. Other industry insiders put that tag on Burt, in his early days, & Marlon hated it. Marlon didn't want "anyone" compared to him. He was a very strange guy who was a real jerk. Burt couldn't help what he looked liked, which was certainly quite a bit like Marlon, at that time. When this drama was not going anywhere, Burt then decided to add his mustache as a permanant fixure to his face. He was extremely tired of people thinking he was Marlon, & then being disappointed! I'll take Burt over Marlon, any day of the week!

They looked identical when Burt was young

That's completely subjective.

Yup you don’t know what you’re talking

Raging bull. He was magnificent!

@Maximum Bob waow

I get what you’re saving. Johnny Depp would be considered a GREAT actor! Very versatile!

I'm sorry you feel emasculated, what happened?

hahahah nice one

He was a great actor as well

Yea I was watching clips of him today and going through the comments afterwards and folks were saying he acts so natural and I’m like really?

Cam Lucas watch The Godfather

nonsense

Mr Lopez never said he was a bad actor

Brando was an intellectual.
