Sorry there is no Biography!


Although it is not clear in the film Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966), his character, Torgo, is supposed to be a satyr, half man, half goat, which is why his knees appear to be misshapen. He designed the prosthetics himself with help from Tom Neyman, who played the Master in the film. According to Tom Neyman (The Master in Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)), John Reynolds was wearing the prosthetics wrong, which caused him great discomfort and led to him becoming addicted to pain killers. In 1998, there was a grass-roots effort among "Mystery Science Theater 3000" (1988) fans to try and get Reynolds a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his role of Torgo in Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966). Although the campaign failed, Reynolds' widow expressed her gratitude at the effort.
