We'll see, if I find a book for:
Reynolds played football in high school and college. He was badly injured in a car accident in sophomore year and he gave up football. At Palm Beach Junior College he was in an English class taught by Watson B. Duncan III. Duncan pushed him into trying out for a play he was producing, Outward Bound. He cast him in the lead role for which Reynolds won the 1956 Florida State Drama Award for his performance.
