I don't think I've seen that.

I like picking out famous actors as they are starting out. A lot of times they are going by slightly different names, too.

Neither Clint Eastwood or Don Rickles where even mentioned in the credits that I can find. However this was a first for both of them for speaking parts about 3 words each and a 1 second scene. Eastwood was 18 years old I think he said once about it.

Both of them where established by the time Kelly's Heroes came out. I remembered it today watching the spaghetti western marathon. Fist Full of Dollars, A Few Dollars More (my fav), and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I'm a big fan of Clint Eastwood even when he was on Rawhide in the 60's.

I remember when Burt Reynold's played football for Florida State as a full back. He was a very good player but due to some bad injuries it ended his football career. I actually built the gurney used the ambulance scene in Smokey and the Bandit II which was a go cart and a driver below actually driving it.

A lot of these old shows as some really big stars on them when the started out and even some as their careers where winding down.
