Life... and Stuff
In 1997, Reynolds starred in the short-lived sitcom Life... and Stuff,[5] which he also co-created.[6] Prior to the release of Life... and Stuff Reynolds was quoted at a press conference saying, "If this is canceled, and my whole career has worked toward this point . . .," Reynolds said, letting the thought hang. "Who am I kidding? Is it going to happen again? I'm not a great-looking guy and I'm 45 now. This is it. So, of course, I'll be devastated."[7]
