Athletes Turned Actors: Burt Reynolds, $12 Million


Burt Reynolds was a fullback for the Florida State Seminoles. Coming out of high school, Mr. Reynolds was among the most coveted recruits in the country. An early injury, however, ended his football career before it every really got started. Mr. Reynolds ended up landing some parts in local plays, which kick-started his acting career. He would go on to play iconic roles in Smokey and the Bandit and White Lightening, among other films.
