Does he have an academic degree?

He attended FSU, where he definitely did not graduate. Did he get a degree from Palm Beach Junior College (now Palm Beach State College)? Any honorary degrees? deisenbe (talk) 14:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Movie in Filmography -> Television

The the 1970 Made for TV movie "Hunters Are for Killing" is missing.[1] For those who like Burt Reynolds dramatic roles, this one is a must see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowzone (talk • contribs) 15:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]


They are also missing his appearances on " Burn Notice" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.25.207 (talk) 23:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lazy, sloppy, incomplete.

A "good article nominee?" Are you kidding? Seriously? The person or persons who wrote this have no idea how to write a Wikipedia bio article. For example, do you think it might be important to mention that Reynolds resurrected his career with "Evening Shade" and won an Emmy other than a casual mention in a table below? 2606:A000:8396:500:39C9:EA6E:50D4:B6C8 (talk) 02:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edits adding details of his television history - roles in "Riverboat", "Gunsmoke" and "Dan August" - consistently get reverted. Chris Keating (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you mean my edit from today, I'm reverting a vandal who is evading a block. Sometimes the vandal seems to mix in useful edits. If the edits are useful, restore them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:39, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't referring to your edit. Was referring to the edits which remove all his early TV roles.Chris Keating (talk) 04:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You stated he died September 7, 2018... but he died September 6, 2018 65.188.227.167 (talk) 19:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

that's already on the article. theinstantmatrix (talk) 19:21, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please note - the death of Burt Reynolds may be false news - many such notices about celebrities are currently being spread around, so please check 89.145.199.167 (talk) 19:19, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple reliable sources have reported his death. StrikerforceTalk 19:20, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, please do not rely on MediaMass. They have this ready at any celebrity--Sarcathmo17 (talk) 19:48, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change high school from Palm Beach Lakes High to what is today known as Northboro Elementary, at the time it was Northboro Senior High school and played football for the Northboro Mustangs. 8.23.71.194 (talk) 19:42, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Middle Name

The article has his birth name as "Burton Leon Reynolds Jr" but his father's name was Burton Milo Reynolds so he can't be a Jr with a different middle name. The article about his death from The Hollywood Reporter lists his birth name as "Burton Milo Reynolds Jr." which would make sense. Other news sources with the "Milo" middle name include WBMF, WAOW, Orlando Sentinel, and The Chicago Tribune. 65.28.236.17 (talk) 23:40, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's Leon, after his maternal grandfather, Leon Miller. There may not have been a "Jr." part, despite reports. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 07:19, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, there is no law about the use of "junior", and not everyone uses their middle name. "Junior" was probably used to distinguish "Burt Reynolds, Jr." from "Burt Reynolds, Sr." - Donald Albury 15:09, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pam Seals

According to reference 3, Reynolds also "fell in love with cocktail waitress Pam Seals". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.51.81 (talk) 06:18, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added, but without the name. Not really a public figure, just caught up in stuff. Possibly still a living person. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:40, September 7, 2018 (UTC)

Evening Shade is an American television sitcom that aired on CBS from September 21, 1990 to May 23, 1994. The series stars Burt Reynolds as Wood Newton, an ex-professional football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who returns to rural Evening Shade, Arkansas, to coach a high-school football team with a long losing streak. Reynolds personally requested to use the Steelers as his character's former team, because he is a fan.[4]

The general theme of the show is the appeal of small-town life. Episodes often ended with a closing narration by Ossie Davis, as his character Ponder Blue, summing up the events of the episode, always closing with "... in a place called Evening Shade." The opening segment included clips from around Arkansas, including the famous McClard's Bar-be-que, which is situated on Albert Pike Blvd. and South Patterson St. in Hot Springs National Park. 50.244.73.77 (talk) 14:40, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting pronunciation

Even names that are common may be pronounced differently. I have no doubt any native English speaker, and regular consumers of American culture, take the pronunciation of "Reynolds" for granted. But it may not be obvious for non-English cultures. Per WP:OBVIOUS, I'm requesting IPA for at least the name Reynolds. --Bensin (talk) 19:50, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are non-English cultures likely to be interested in Burt Reynolds, and do any have common names or words that are spelled similarly but sound different? In my (albeit limited) experience, the Portuguese generally know the deal on how English would use an H for a man called Heynolds. They may find it weird, but they get it.

Picture

The 1991 picture is better and coloured — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fieryflames (talk • contribs) 00:15, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can definitely understand your argument. There are times where such photos can be suiting. But this is a deceased celebrity who got his big break in the 60s; by the 90s he was already a veteran of the movie scene. To add, he's had more successes in the decades before. In my opinion, photos of popular deceased figures taken around the start of their career, usually before they turn thirty (even though he was 34 in the Dan August photograph), fit the subject's infobox the most. That's why I reverted the edits. GoAnimateFan199Pro (talk) 06:40, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guest role on "My Name is Earl"

He guest starred as Richard "Big" Chubby in the second episode of season 2 of My Name is Earl; "Jump for Joy". He appeared in short flashbacks in the 2oth episode of season 2; "Two Balls, Two Strikes" and the final episode of season 4; "Dodge's Dad". Big Chubby liked to drink vodka from a realistic squirt gun, and pretended to threaten others with it, before squirting vodka into whatever they were drinking at his club. He died from mistaking a real gun for his squirt gun. Bizzybody (talk) 11:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
