The biography of Kelly Reno, a talented actor, begins with his childhood as the son of cattle ranchers Bud and Ruth. From a very young age, Reno was exposed to horseback riding, a skill he mastered with ease, which would later prove to be a valuable asset in his acting career.
In 1979, Reno's mother discovered an open audition for the film "The Black Stallion" and encouraged him to try out for the role. Accompanied by both his parents, Reno traveled to the filming location, where he impressed the casting directors with his equestrian skills. Despite the experience being a positive one, it was also a disruption to the family's life.
Reno's acting career was brief, with only three film appearances before he graduated from high school in 1984. Following his graduation, he planned to focus more on his acting career and secured a new agent. However, his plans were put on hold when he was involved in a serious accident, which resulted in severe injuries.
The accident, which involved a pickup truck being hit by an 18-wheeler, led to a long and arduous recovery period. Unfortunately, Reno lost most of his connections in the film industry during this time. Despite this setback, Reno has since found a new passion - truck driving. He has obtained certification to operate an 18-wheeler, the same type of vehicle that ended his acting career.
In his personal life, Reno has three children from his first marriage.
