Wow. I knew he was getting up there in age but this is still a bit of a shock. He's given us some pretty good movies over the years. RIP, good sir.

Dang. Bummer. "Cannonball Run" was my jam when I was 12. R.I.P., sir.

I could swear I just saw him on one of the morning shows ("Today," "GMA," etc.) within the last couple of months.

Same here Freddy, I think I watched Cannonball run hundreds of times during the summer on HBO when I was a kid.

Burt Reynolds had the greatest mustache the world will ever see.

His part in Boogie Nights was an acting masterclass.

R.I.P.

Really sucks, I liked him. He was one of my favorite actors as a kid growing up. Smokey and the Bandit is probably my favorite, next to Deliverance. Hooper is another one I watched at least fifty times. If you've never seen it, it's a really good fun movie. Has a funny bar fight scene in it, and I'm pretty sure he did most of his own stunts in it.

RIP Sir, you will be missed. Crying or Very sad

He was suppose to have a role in a new Quentin Tarantino movie about Charles Manson that was going to start filming in a few weeks.

That dude was on such a roll in the 70's thru mid-80's with classic movies. He will be missed. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Ferguson.

I watched " Deliverance " and " The Longest Yard " -

To me, back then, he was right up there with Knevel and Ali -

I was in Florida once - and he was going to be on stage -
just him - talking about his life - photos on a big screen - etc
I wanted to go - then was discouraged by someone - then didn't.
The next day - it was on the front page of the town's daily paper.

I even remember him doing a Twilight Zone -
I think they were looking for a next Marlon Brando episode.
