That is interesting. Burt said during the interview (minute 24:18) thatJoe Pesci was supposed to play Nosh in "Sharky´s Machine" but Robert de Niro talked him out of it by saying "starring in a Burt Reynolds movie would hurt your career".

I liked the early burt movies
Other actors were always jealous so they tied to hurt him.

[@spiffy8576]

I like Burt more than De Niro

SHARKEY’S MACHINE is an excellent film; great cast and chemistry.
