Canadian-born actor Simon Reynolds came to specialize in supporting and lead roles in intense, emotionally demanding material, often in the #92;thriller or #92;horror genres. Onscreen, his deceptively genial and placid looks often blanketed -- at closer glance -- an undercurrent of ever-present gravity and occasional menace. He was memorable as a warped murder suspect who may have offed his parents in the telemovie Deadly Betrayal: The Bruce Curtis Story (1991), appeared as a physician who is assigned to counter a widespread epidemic in the plague-themed #92;drama Black Death (1992), and held small roles in the #92;horror outings Gate II: Return to the Nightmare (1992), Dark Water (2005), and Saw IV (2007). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
