TURNER: "Burt Reynolds was one of the top box office draws in the ‘70s and ‘80s, but the big screen was not where he set out to be. No, the handsome charismatic Michigan born actor wanted to be a football star. Reynolds attended Florida state university on a football scholarship. But an injury derailed his athletic career and put him on the path to Hollywood stardom. At first, Reynolds landed roles on television, including shows like Gun Smoke and Flipper but it was the 1972 film Deliverance that was his breakthrough role."
