William Reynolds Poker Net Worth
November 30, 2010 9:16 amA few days after the dust has settled on the EPT Barcelona, some interesting news has also emerged regarding the bizarre robbery which took place on the sideline of the tournament.
Apparently, poker pros Carter Phillips, William Reynolds, Kevin Stani and Kayvan Payman were in Barcelona on Wednesday 24th November, ahead of the start of the EPT Barcelona, when Canadian pro Kayvan Payman was robbed of €4,000.
However, that was only the start of the bizarre events which followed after the group of poker pros had left the hookah bar where they had been drinking until 6 a.m.
As the group were walking back, Kayvan Payman got ahead of his friends and before long found himself surrounded by local thieves who then pick pocketed him out of €4,000 before escaping via a close-by subway station.
After the rest of the poker pros realised what had happened and gave chase, the thieves were able to shut the station’s security gate and hide while the pros tried to acquire assistance from staff at a local closed restaurant. That’s, however, when the situation became even more bizarre and as William Reynolds explains:
“(One) is holding a frying pan and the other is holding an 18in machete. I’m like wow these guys really want to help us. I approach the man with the machete attempting to talk a mix of simple English and Spanish when all of a sudden he comes at me with a Steven Segal kick straight to my chest that connects.”
“He than begins to assume the role of Zorro and starts thrusting the blade directly at my heart with his first attempt making the smallest of contact. While he is doing this I am not trying to fight back and just continue to move back with my hands up in the air reaching for the sky in this little enclosed spot.”
“At the same time the man with the frying pan is trying to crack Payman’s skull. The two guys we were trying to get help from end up causing more harm than the robbers. This entire time my eyes are fixated on this crazy Spaniard and his machete. Eventually the 2 realize we are not trying to fight back and go back inside their locked store.”
Fortunately, the group suffered no major injuries but found the whole bizarre series of events unnerving. Carter Phillips even exclaimed he would consider no longer travelling to poker venues outside of the US because of the perceived risks involved.
However, after the excitement has died down Phillips has subsequently acknowledged that “part of the night was definitely self-inflicted on ourselves and could have been avoided.”

William de Clerq Reynolds (born December 9, 1931) is a retired American actor. He is best known for his film roles in the 1950s and his television roles in the 1960s and 1970s.
Early years[edit]
Reynolds’s mother died when he was five years old, and he was sent to boarding schools. He eventually attended Pasadena City College and worked in their radio department.
Film[edit]
After a talent agent spotted the handsome, capable actor in some minor theatrical roles, Reynolds signed with Universal Studios in 1952 and began appearing in pictures such as Carrie (1952), where he had a prominent role as the son of Laurence Olivier. Reynolds was drafted into the United States Army in 1952, but en route to Korea he stayed in Japan doing radio work.[1] He returned to Universal making horror film Cult of the Cobra (1955). He also appeared in the Douglas Sirk melodramas All That Heaven Allows (1955) and There's Always Tomorrow (1956). He often played the son of the leading character.
Television[edit]
Reynolds became tired of his dull, stereotyped roles in the movies and began his move to television in 1959, playing the title role in Pete Kelly's Blues.[2]:826-827 During this series, he developed a close friendship with actor and producer Jack Webb. In 1960–1961, he starred as Sandy Wade on the ABC/Warner Brotherstelevision seriesThe Islanders.[2] He also guest starred in 1961 as Jerry Bolton on the episode 'Nobody's Millions' of another ABC/WB drama series, The Roaring 20s.
In 1961, Reynolds appeared as Johnny Tremayne in an episode of Cheyenne “The Brahma Bull”. In 1962-1963, Reynolds costarred on ABC's The Gallant Men. He then played Hoodoo Henderson as an adult in 1966's Walt Disney film Follow Me, Boys!.
Two years with no acting jobs led Reynolds to enhance his education, and he passed the examinations to become a lawyer specializing in real estate.[3]
Reynolds caught his big break co-starring with Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., in another ABC series, the long-running The F.B.I.. Reynolds first made guest appearances in seasons one and two in 1966, before he appeared as series regular Special Agent Tom Colby from 1967 to 1973.[4] He was replaced by actor Shelly Novack for the final season, because the network considered Reynolds, then at the age of forty-one, too old for the part. Still, he managed to make two appearances as Colby in the ninth season (1973–74), which included the final network-aired episode, a rerun of 'The Animal,' on September 8, 1974.
He also appeared in guest roles in Jack Webb-produced shows such as Dragnet, and in other series like Rod Serling’sThe Twilight Zone, starring in the episode 'The Purple Testament' (Season 1, Episode 19). Additionally, he guest starred in an episode of the Maverick tv series with James Garner.
Later years[edit]
Reynolds left show business after The F.B.I. ended its run and became a businessman. In 2004, he made an appearance at a Twilight Zone convention in Los Angeles.
Personal life[edit]
Reynolds married actress Molly Sinclair in 1950 and remained with her until her death in 1992. The couple had a daughter born in 1958 and a son born the following year.
