But Enough About Me by Jon Winokur, Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds
4.0
Funnyman, television host, football star, legit member of the stuntman's union, actor in television, movies, and theatre, and acting teacher. Not to mention frequently being a little boy in a man's body.
I can say that this is, without a shade of doubt, mostly true but with a heavy dollop of legacy-building Vaseline on the lens. I get it. He's building that legacy, hoping to be remembered for his accomplishments, his friendships, and the good things he's done for others. And there are so many of those, that this is likely to actually BE his legacy.
Cool.
I don't even mind that he simply glossed over the times he was a bad boy, or selfish, or an idiot. That's for others. I can't say that I would have expected Burt Reynolds to expose the warts... I can't say that I really wanted him to. It was pleasant and all-round enjoyable to take a spin through Burt's (yes, I feel we're on a first name basis, now) life.
He has given me much enjoyment through my life and I'm glad that, in his later years, he had come to get such satisfaction from teaching acting.
Rest easy, Bandit.
