Burt hit the screen in the middle of the "sensitive man" films that seemed to be everywhere. He was unabashedly an alpha male when feminism was pushing for Alan Alda and guys like him to be the goal.
He wasn't a breath of fresh air, he was soaked in Hi-Karate, with a beautiful girl on each arm, and dared you to say $#!^ to his face.
Can someone explain the appeal of Reynolds to me? I didn't get it. I may be retarded in this regard.
But if nothing else he gave us the best recurring sketch in SNL history with Celebrity Jeopardy. Norm MacDonald said he created that sketch so he could play Reynolds.
