William de Clerq Reynolds, born in Los Angeles, began his film career in 1951, one year after his marriage to Molly Sinclair. The handsome actor portrayed many authority figures, both in the movies and on television. He managed to display a wide emotional range, as evidenced by his tour-de-force performance as "Lt. Fitzgerald" in the 12 February 1960 episode of The Twilight Zone (1959), episode The Purple Testament (1960).

Reynolds also had a close relationship with Jack Webb. He had the lead role in Pete Kelly's Blues (1959), and had a memorable guest spot as "Sgt. William Riddle" on Dragnet 1967 (1967). His last role was on the Webb-produced series, Project U.F.O. (1978). His greatest success was as "Special Agent Tom Colby" (1967-1973) on The F.B.I. (1965).

  • Trivia
    Rarely displayed his physique in "beefcake" scenes. However, his bare chest can be seen in 1956's Away All Boats (1956) as he sits up in bed while having his injured leg bandaged, and again in Baron of Broken Lance (1959) (in which, as a newlywed on a wagon train, he sits at the back end of a covered wagon.
  • Quotes
    I loved working as an actor. But I was one of those folks with more talent than ambition. When I was working regularly, I am sorry to say, I took it all for granted. Good actors work at their craft, look for challenging parts, and opportunities to act. I think I knew that. But, in retrospect, I didn't want it enough to pay the price.
