Tom Selleck & Burt Reynolds...
Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 4:54 pm
It is no news, Tom Selleck has always had an admiration for Burt Reynolds, and that goes way beyond the moustache.
After all, TS had been the co-executive producer of the TV series B.L. Stryker in 1989 -1990.
Well, this past weekend, I happened to watch Smokey & the Bandit and the resemblance in acting stroke me, especially regarding the following points:
•The hilarious laughing
•The classical “Now wait a minute, wait a minute !!!” Magnum often uses when trying to make a point.
•Breaking the fourth wall. (maybe a suggestion made by TS to the directors of Magnum, P.I.)
In no way does this make TS any smaller, it just was funny discovering aspects of Magnum in Bandit – so to say. Or rather a nice tribute from Tom to Burt
If you haven’t watched it for a while, I strongly invite to do so and check it out by yourselves.
Aloha
