Redden, then 15, earned his role in Deliverance during a casting call at Clayton Elementary School in Clayton, Georgia. To add authenticity and humor to the film, the filmmakers found Redden to fit the look of the inbred and mentally retarded banjo boy called for by the book, although Redden himself is neither. His distinctive look was enhanced using special makeup.
In his famous scene, Redden plays the instrumental "Dueling Banjos" opposite actor Ronny Cox on guitar. It is noted for foreshadowing the film's theme: exploring unknown and potentially dangerous territory. Redden could not actually play the banjo. A local musician, Mike Addis, reached around from behind Redden; this was disguised using careful camera angles.

Bull. His acting only got better. My favorite character on Homicide:

He must have compartmentalized his experience from Deliverance. The ability to sort of split your personality into separate parts to deal with traumatic experiences.
 
The one movie where they appeared together sucked. I though that movie would be EPIC.
Actually, they never met while making the movie. Not once in the movie will you see them together in the same frame.
 
My favorite was ScarFace. Tony Montana had principles that he did not break for no goddamn body. I can respect that.

LOL! I was in WV a couple years ago and stopped in a gas station in the mountains. Situation got shaky..........I stopped pumping gas and got the 9mm out of the trunk and stuck it in my waistband and resumed pumping gas.
