It wasn’t Nick Nolte. It was Burt Reynolds.
Burt played Billy Clyde Puckett, Kristoffenson played ‘Shake’ Tiller.
Thanks.
And Burt did play football at that school in Tallahassee, before he injured his knee.
Retired 1SG US Army Jumpmaster and retired foreign service. Love Kris Kristofferson; his songs and music are my favorites of most all favorite songs for playing on my Martin gee-tar. Sunday Morning Coming Down, Why Me Lord, and his songs about love and lovers....
Oh, agony! Im a goner, Doc. Im done for!
Whered they hit ya, son?
They got me in the knee!!!
The scene in which he pitilessly guns down Victoria Principal — after first telling her he's going to kill her — is one of the most horrifying things I ever saw in a movie. He's absolutely evil, a stone-cold killer, completely convincing.
Story was that Kris & Burt both had lots of padding in their pants so not to show twigs for legs.
Everyone to his own taste, said the man who kissed the cow.
Well, there was supposed to be an image, but where is it?
(Must have been a Helen Thomas filter fault.)
Good song writer, terrible singer.
He turned down a teaching position at West Point to pursue his dream of becoming a successful songwriter. ................. And all these years I thought he went to West Point. Well now I see that it was based on his non existent teaching position. I went to West Point, several times.
Love him as an entertainer, his politics, eh....
