Actor Burt Reynolds had a Hollywood legacy that most up-and-coming actors can only dream of. The 82-year-old star made a name for himself playing rugged heroes and good ol' boys over the course of seven decades, starring in iconic films like Deliverance and Smokey and the Bandit, as well as TV shows like Gunsmoke. In honour of Reynolds, who died on Sept. 6 following a heart attack, remind yourself of why his time onscreen was so damn impressive, with this trip down memory lane.
