Rex Reason, Faith Domergue and Jeff Morrow in "This Island Earth" (1955)
Hello! I Have Long been a fan of Rex Reason. In an age where films and their budgets outshine the actors who are in them, it is refreshing to remember the days of Hollywood where the acting was just as important as the special effects. Mr. Reason, who is now in his early seventies is still extremely active and thought-provoking. I hope you will enjoy your look at one of the Silver Screens best. Rex Reason battled aliens on Metaluna and battled in fighter jets, yet as he will tell you, his greatest mission is yet to come...
Please enjoy and send me your comments,

A Brief History...
Rex Reason was born on November 30th, 1928 in Berlin, Germany, while his family was visiting for a business trip. Growing up in Los Angeles, Reason had no aspirations to act as a youngster. After transferring High Schools, Rex's drama coach recruited him to play the lead in "Seventh Heaven". At 17, Rex enlisted into the army. After his service, he decided to get involved in theatre. He was spotted in the stage production of "Monserrat" by an agent, and so began his career.
Rex started at Columbia Pictures making films like "Storm over Tibet" and after his tenure with them, jumped ship to Universal Studios. This was where he made his best-known film "This Island Earth", a blockbuster for 1955. At one point, his name was changed to Bart Roberts, but it was quickly returned to its proper form. After Rex finished with Universal, he worked as a freelancer working mostly in Westerns including work in television. After this, Rex decided to end his Film career and successfully continued on with other endeavours such as a Real Estate broker. With much success in all aspects of his life, Rex continues to make appearances at shows and is very open to his fans across the world. At 71, Rex is considering a voice over career. With a voice like his, and a great attitude, no doubt it will be another success to the pile.
