30 Burt Reynolds Roles That Made Him Not Just an Icon, but a Legend

This adventure thriller earned three Oscar nods, and Reynolds credits it as being the most important film in his career. "If I had to put only one of my movies in a time capsule, it would be Deliverance," he once wrote. "I don't know if it's the best acting I've done, but it's the best movie I've ever been in. It proved I could act, not only to the public but me."
