Reid was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.[5] The son of visual artists, he became involved in theatre around age six and regularly attended productions with his family throughout his childhood.[6] He attended Etobicoke School of the Arts[7] and is a 2008 graduate[8] of the National Theatre School of Canada.[5]
Starting as a child actor, Reid did extensive voice work for Canadian and American children's television and was the original voice of the title character in Franklin from 1997 to 2004.[9] While at Etobicoke School of the Arts, he co-starred in Strange Days at Blake Holsey High (2002–2006).
In 2005, Reid played the role of Darrell Fox in the made-for-television movie Terry which dramatized Terry Fox's historic run for cancer research. In 2007, he appeared in the Naturally, Sadie episode "As the Whirly Turns". In 2009, Reid guest-starred in the Degrassi: The Next Generation episode "Danger Zone".
Reid's first leading role in a feature film was Farley Gordon in Score: A Hockey Musical, which premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.[10] He then played several guest roles on television, including in the police drama Rookie Blue (2012, the project on which he met future wife Clare Stone[11]) and the drama series Cracked (2013). In 2013, he also starred in the CW web series Backpackers.[12] In 2015, Reid appeared briefly in the first episode of Annie Murphy's CBC television series The Plateaus.[13] The same year, he played the lead role in the ABC Family comedy series Kevin From Work.[14] The series was canceled after one season.[15]
In 2016, Reid was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Song for his work in the feature film People Hold On (2015), in which he also starred.[3] He also released a self-produced full-length original album, Songs From a Broken Chair.[16]
In 2017, Reid played the recurring role of Patrick in the third season of the CBC series Schitt's Creek.[17] That year, he was also cast in the independent film Cardinals, opposite Sheila McCarthy,[18] which premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[19]
In 2018, Reid was promoted to a series regular on Schitt's Creek, beginning with the series' fourth season.[20] He also performed in a production of Hamlet at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto in the same year.[21] He appeared in the films Buffaloed and Disappearance at Clifton Hill, which were both released in February 2020.[22][23] Also in February 2020, Reid embarked on a sold-out tour across North America to support his then-upcoming second album. However, two-thirds of the original dates had to be indefinitely postponed midway through the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[24] The album, titled Gemini, was released on May 29, 2020;[25] the album's cover alluded to Reid's dual status as a musician and actor by depicting a Gemini Award statuette.[26]
Reid made his Broadway debut in April 2022, joining the original Broadway cast of Tracy Letts's The Minutes,[27][28] and released his third album, titled Adjustments, in June 2022.[29]
