Peter Reynolds

Peter Reynolds was an English actor who worked mostly in B films, frequently playing spivs, unreliable boyfriends, blackmailers, and smooth operators. He won starring parts in two early films by John Guillermin. In the heist film The Breaking Point (1961) he played a decent but corruptible businessman. His television work included the role of Hilaire in the 1959 William Tell episode The Avenger. On The Avengers he was Al Brady in 1961 and Tulip in 1967, and in 1968 he appeared in Department S, in the episode The Man in the Elegant Room. He relocated to Australia in 1969, where his career found a second wind, and he took more than twenty roles between 1969 and 1974, most of them on television. He had a leading part in the black comedy Private Collection (1972) and was also seen in Woodbine cigarette commercials. Filmink reflected that few of his generation's actors made movies more fun.
