Reynolds had worked hard on building his reputation before his purple patch of movie hits in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. One of his most recognizable roles came in 1974 sports drama, The Longest Yard.

Reynolds had been unfortunate to have his football career cut short due to injury, but now he was given the chance to live out his fantasies as he played a quarterback in a game of prisoners vs. guards. The Longest Yard proved a big hit, boosting Reynolds’ stock as a leading man.
