Famed stuntman turned director Hal Needham, known for numerous 1970s/80s Burt Reynolds films (most notably my all-time favorite, "Smokey and the Bandit"), passed away on Friday at the age of 82.

Rest in peace, sir.

Sorry to hear that. He worked hard to make stunt work a safe but exciting art, and took a lot of pride in his work, influencing many that followed him. His stunt artistry will be missed.
