Burt Reynolds has passed away

Oddly, there’s a YouTube video with Marlon Brando unloading on Burt Reynolds. I’m not sure what brought that diatribe on but examined objectively they were rather similar in terms of romantic comedy, even somewhat similar in serious acting style, and charming with the ladies, charming on talk shows. They even looked quite similar physically when they were young. And they were both as big as you can get in movies, at least for a while.
