The [[Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures]] awarded the Richard "Diamond" Farnsworth Award to Reynolds in 2015.<ref name="The Independent" /> [[Richard Farnsworth]] was a stunt man who made the transition into a successful acting career. Having performed stunts early during his career, the debilitating health problems of an aging stunt man was central to the storyline of Reynolds' 1978 movie ''[[Hooper (film)|Hooper]]'', which is subtitled on the poster "The Greatest Stuntman Alive."

Reynolds, who said he was a card-carrying member of the [[stunt performers]] guild, often performed his own stunts in movies, such as the fall over the waterfall in ''[[Deliverance (film)|Deliverance]]'', where he injured his [[coccyx]].<ref name="Carson Show" /> He also had to be operated on for a [[hernia]] that resulted from a fight scene in ''[[The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing]]''.<ref name="The Independent" />
