- <p> Burt Reynolds has made about one movie for every two
- months that his most recent co-star has been alive. In Cop and
- a Half, which just finished shooting last month, the veteran
- actor shares screen space with eight-year-old newcomer Norman
- Goldin II. "I never acted with kids, because I did all those
- movies where I was playing those wonderful womanizing jerks. But
- I finally got a son and got my priorities straightened out"--not unlike the title hero of Cop and a Half, whose life is
- transformed when he must take on as a "partner" a child who
- witnesses a murder. "Norman had never done a movie before. I
- remember once, he said, `Gosh, I just want to go somewhere and
- ride my bike.' I said, `Me too.'"
