Bo Darvill, Lewis Medlock, Gator McCluskey. Recognize the names?

They are all characters portrayed by one of America's most famous film and television actors, Burt Reynolds. Reynolds is in Chicago this weekend for a Movie Tribute at the Hollywood Cinema Theater in Woodridge, Illinois.

Reynolds met fans, signed autographs, and took photos before and after screenings of Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, and The Longest Yard. Without a doubt, he is one of the nicest celebrities I've met. He was warm and genuine. Reynolds made me feel like a friend as we chatted. You don't get that from many "A list" celebrities. He signed a Smokey and the Bandit DVD cover and disk for my collection and then posed for this shot.
