Career


Most of his career was spent in B films, as "the archetypal spiv, unreliable boyfriend, unscrupulous blackmailer, the smoothie ever ready to light a lady's cigarette".[4]

He starred in two early films for John Guillermin.[5] He played Hilaire in episode 28 of The Adventures of William Tell, The Avenger (1959).

In 1969 Reynolds moved to Australia, where his career gained a second wind. He appeared in over two dozen roles in his first six years there (1969 to 1974, inclusive), mainly on TV. Amongst his appearances was a leading role in the black comedy film Private Collection (1972).[6] He also appeared in Woodbine cigarette commercials. He lived alone, apart from his little dog, in Sydney; his brother lived in the same city.


Death


He and his dog died in a fire in his flat in Oxford Street, Paddington, Melbourne, on 22 April 1975. The fire was caused by Reynolds smoking in bed.[7]
