Anthony Reynolds is an American actor, writer and producer. Known for his work playing authoritative roles, Anthony has played numerous law enforcement officers, federal agents and military officials. Gravitating toward the character actors in the movies of his childhood, Anthony aspired to be one of the guys who plays to the leads in supporting roles. Upon completion of Cary High School in 1986, Anthony studied at North Carolina State University and East Carolina University and made annual trips to New York to visit the theatre and museums. His college years were interrupted by some harrowing twists and turns, but Anthony graduated from ECU in 1992 with a BFA in Communication Arts. In 1993, he drove with a friend to Los Angeles where he slept on the floor of his high school friend, Keith Coulouris' apartment in Studio City, CA. Keith was instrumental in Anthony getting a bit part in, Dead Man's Revenge (1994), a USA network movie of the week, starring Bruce Dern, Michael Ironside and Vondie Curtis-Hall. Upon realizing the high cost of living in LA, Anthony returned to the East Coast to study acting as he had no business on a film set without formal training. He spent just shy of two years in Atlanta, taking classes and auditioning, before his then agent, Ted Borden urged him to make the big move to Manhattan to study at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. In 1995, Anthony did just that. He lived in a NYU dorm with a student he met on his flight to New York after the living situation he had arranged prior to the move fell apart upon his arrival. The front door to the apartment that he was to be staying in had been kicked in and the tenants robbed the night before. He ended up bouncing between apartments on the Upper East and West Sides of the city. Concurrent to his studies at the LSTI, Anthony studied privately with acting coaches Michael Margotta and Geoffrey Horne. Anthony performed regularly way off Broadway in numerous black box theaters. After leaving his job at the famed, Hard Rock Cafe on 57th Street, Anthony was asked to stand-in for Sam Rockwell for 6 weeks on the Woody Allen film, Celebrity. This led to him being asked to interview to stand-in on "Keeping The Faith." After that film wrapped in the the summer of 1999, Anthony moved to Los Angeles. In LA, Anthony studied with Milton Katselas at The Beverly Hills Playhouse and with Lesly Kahn in the Hollywood Hills. Anthony found that the best training of all, was working on sets with other actors. He had the privilege of working with Academy Award Nominated actor, Edward Norton for nine years on several films as well as Academy Award and Golden Globe Winner, Billy Bob Thornton on four films as their regular stand-in. Anthony said working as a stand-in was some of the best training ever, the best part was getting paid to watch A-list actors do the work, up close and personal. Anthony gave up the stand-in work in 2007 to focus on his acting career and he has been very busy since and continues to work regularly in film and television and maintains bi-coastal representation.
