Burt Reynolds – Football

Burt Reynolds earned his way to the top and is now regarded as an American cultural icon. Prior to becoming famous, he attended Florida State University on a football scholarship and played halfback for the squad. His first year went well, but a knee injury cut short his sophomore season. He attempted to rejoin, but his injury slowed him down, and he concluded athletics were no longer for him. That was simply a detour because he became interested in performing while participating in school plays. Reynolds led the box office smashes “The Longest Yard” and “The Cannonball Run” after a string of smaller appearances.
