Burt was the man in late 70s to mid 80s.I remember watching him as a Mississippi Pliot on a River Boat when I was a kid.He was always entertaining .Yeah i saw,those movie roles he turned down .He would of made a great Hans Solo .But he was great as the Bandit and in Boogie Nites and the Crew .It was a shame seeing his body break down in later years .He did a lot of his own stunts and was a Mans Man.Thank you Burt for all the laughts and great movies .Your in Heaven with your Gang now .Yeah ,with your feet up having a Sotch n a cigar .RIP ,Bandit .
