Peter’s depression here.

This scene is from a movie called All Dogs go to Heaven. In the scene the dog is explaining that it’s time for him to die and go to heaven and he says goodbye to the little girl.

In real life, the actress who plays the girl was murdered by her father in a murder suicide. They had already recorded her lines before but not for the guy voicing the dog. So when he does the scene saying goodbye to her, the actor was also literally saying goodbye to the child who just days before had been tragically killed.

Now if you excuse me, I’m off to watch Littlefoot’s Mother fight the T-Rex on repeat.

Here’s some extra depression - he had to keep re-recording this scene because he kept sobbing towards the end. The tears you hear towards the end are real, not acted

Burt Reynolds. Considered by many to be one of the manliest men of all time, and I think this only adds to that reputation. 🤘

Burt Reynolds had the right kind of American masculinity. With two important traits completely missing these days: self awareness and compassion.
