John Reynolds est né le 15 septembre 1941 dans le Mississippi, États-Unis. Il était acteur. Il est connu pour Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966). Il est mort le 16 octobre 1966 au Texas, États-Unis.
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.
