Biography

Born in 1863, Reid entered the film business in 1910 as an actor, director, and writer, bringing along his teen son Wallace Reid, who had aspirations to be a director or cameraman. Many of his plays saw Broadway openings.[1] In 1912, Reid was appointed Censor to the Universal Film Corporation.[2]

Reid was at one time said to be actually Harry Preston and that he had served a prison sentence for an unspecified crime.[3] In 1915 Reid visited Georgia convicted murderer Leo Frank in prison for source material of a film he was making Thou Shall Not Kill. Frank was convicted, then pardoned for the 1913 murder of Mary Phagan in a famous Georgia murder case.[4]

His son Wallace Reid became an actor who starred in many films of Hollywood's silent era.Шаблон:Citation needed
