Star Wars with him in a leading role would have sucked. He could have played a Lando part well.

I am. Quoting ROEPER so take that how ever you want.

I can think of a couple of TV things where Bert would have been a great addition as a frequently recurring character (like for 1/4 of the episodes). For example, Deep Space 9, instead of Whoopi Goldberg. He would have been fun interacting with the Ferengi.

One of the funniest lines I ever read was from Burt Reynolds commenting on his former TV co-star,Darrin McGavin who was known to have a big ego:

"Darrin will be very surprised the 1st Easter after his death"
