Speaking of "Deliverance" I did chat with Burt R and asked how the found that awful man.
He said he himself spotted him at a car race in NC. he knew he was perfect. He asked if the guy if he would like to be in a movie. He said yep. Burt said you will be doing such and such (picture the scene) the guy replied... ready ? "I've done worse!"
Lest you think I pal around with stars, it's not the case. This was an abondened gas station set up for an outdoor lunch. We shot across the street. "Burt" was not in the film, but part of the investors. I think.
Yes, everyone was asking questions
