Heh, I didn't realize Burt Reynolds was in a movie with Rowan Atkinson. Which one was that? Looks like one of the Mr Bean movies.
He played General Newton, the guy who donated "Whistler's Mother" to the Art Gallery in the first movie. He got the great line "I don't know the difference between a Picasso and a car crash."
Ok, that's fascinating, because I loved the movie but I have no recollection of him being in the movie at all. Was he uncredited? Even when I saw it for the first time, I might not have recognized him.
No, he got proper credit, and his appearance was actually at the climax of the movie. I loved that he listened to Bean's speech with a straight face as if there was nothing wrong.
Heh, now I'll definitely notice him, thanks. Really weird that I hadn't noticed, or maybe it's something I've just forgotten.
Just a couple more days left to vote, if ya haven't already! Winner will be announced Tuesday evening!
Sorry for the delay, folks. This slipped my mind on Tuesday, and I was out of town all day today. That being said, thanks again for another win (ten votes). And congratulations to Orac (five votes) for second place & Starkers (four votes) for third. I'll have a new contest posted tomorrow, soon as I think of one to use.
