I liked him on Gunsmoke when I was young-er....
Hated his Good Ole Boy crap.
Couldn't stand the jerk he was during his divorce from Loni.
Actually found him to be pretty wonderful in his series, Evening Shade.
All in all... another legend is gone. RIP

reply

I did too. He was Quint, the half-breed blacksmith.

reply

I had seen him as a heavy in other guest spots in TV shows, but Quint made me sit up and take notice. I was sorry to see him go.
He certainly had quite a roller coaster of a career.
I really shouldn't forget him in Deliverance. That was another sit up and take notice film that he appeared in.
Quint, the half breed was special though.

reply

I knew he was in Gunsmoke....but yet to see a single episode of that classic show. I have heard Burt interviews where he praised that show as his "big break". Rest in Peace.

reply

The 2005 version of The Longest Yard was bad. The 1974 is one of the better sports movie ever made.

reply

And they put it over sharing machine? SHEEEEIT!

reply

reply

Gotcha! Welcome to the site👍 Im going to check yours out tonight👍

I agree it was bad....but it was his 6th biggest hit of his most stellar box office career. Falls into the category of "Bad Blockbuster"...the above rankings were based on overall movie stats....if you rank his movies by reviews from audiences and critics..The Longest Yard is ranked 31st of 67 movies.

reply

True that. The first Longest Yard is perhaps the greatest football movie.
