Burt Reynolds – Football

Burt Reynolds passed away in 2018 but he was a pop-culture legend. The actor was known for his good looks and started his career in the ‘50s. He starred in projects like “Gunsmoke,” “Smokey and the Bandit,” and “The Longest Yard,” which is a movie about football.

Of course, Reynolds was perfect for the part as he was a halfback back at Florida State University. Unfortunately, due to a few injuries in his sophomore year, he was sidelined for about two years. Eventually, he found his way to acting and was quite successful.
