It would still take some time before Reynolds landed a big role and he spent a lot of time in and out of work as an actor after college. After appearing in TV series such as ‘Gunsmoke,’ ‘Riverboat,’ and ‘Hawk,’ Reynolds finally got his break.

He was cast in the survival action ‘Deliverance’ in 1972, and it became a box office hit. The film was remarkable because the leading men insisted on doing most of their stunts themselves, just helping Reynolds become the heartthrob he would later develop into.
