this is me playing the banjo :D~
Billy Redden (born 1956 in Rabun County,
Georgia) is an American actor best known for
his role as Lonnie—the "banjo kid"—in the
1972 movie Deliverance.
Redden, then sixteen, 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. The scene depicts Redden
playing the instrumental Dueling Banjos
opposite actor Ronny Cox on guitar. Because
Redden could not really play the banjo,
another young banjo player knelt behind him
and reached around his chest to reach the
banjo, with Redden wearing a specially made
shirt that made the man's arms appear to be
his own. Additionally, the shot was filmed
from angles that made it impossible to see
the musician behind Redden on the porch. At
the end of the scene, the script called for
Redden to harden his expression towards Drew
Ballinger, Cox's character; however, Redden
was unable to fake dislike for Cox. To solve
the problem they got Ned Beatty (whom Redden
truly disliked) to step towards Redden at the
close of the shot. As Beatty approached,
Redden hardened his expression and looked
away exactly as intended.[citation needed]
Jon Voight claimed Redden "was a boy who had
a genetic imbalance -- a product of his
mother and his brother, I think. He was quite
amazing, a very talkative fellow."[1]
Redden also appeared in Tim Burton's 2003
film Big Fish. Burton was intent on getting
Redden, who hadn't appeared in a film since
Deliverance, to play the role of a
banjo-playing welcomer in the utopian town of
Spectre. Burton eventually found him in
Clayton, Georgia, where Redden works as a
cook, dishwasher and part-owner of the Cookie
Jar Café.
In 2004, Redden made a guest appearance on
Blue Collar TV playing an inbred car
repairman named Ray in a "Redneck Dictionary"
skit, for the word "raisin bread"
(Ray's-Inbred). When he was shown, he was
playing a banjo.
