Born Robert Brown on April 29, 1948, Los Angeles native Reb Brown attended USC on a football scholarship, following graduation from high
school in 1966. After stints as a bouncer and an amateur boxer, Brown was discovered by makeup artist Dan Striepeke, who served as producer
on Brown's first film SSSSSSS (1973; with Strother Martin and Heather Menzies). He acted in many TV shows in the 1970s and 1980s including
CHiPs, Happy Days, Fantasy Island, and Three's Company. In the late 1970s he was very busy in films such
as Big Wednesday (1978; with Jan-Michael Vincent and William Katt), Fast Break (1979;
with Gabe Kaplan), and Brave New World (1980; with Kier Dullea and Bud Cort) . Brown also starred as
Captain America in two late 1970s made-for-television films, Captain America (1979; with Heather Menzies and Robin Mattson) and
Captain America II: Death Too Soon (1979; with Connie Sellecca, Christopher Lee, and Lana Wood).
Starting out as brawny types in 1970s films and television, in the 1980s Brown morphed into a hero in low-budget films. His starring
role in Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1982; with Corinne Clery) became an instant cult classic when Columbia Pictures picked
it up for distribution in 1983. Yor was shot in Turkey as a four-part Italian TV miniseries, but when it was released to U.S.
theaters, the film version was drastically edited down to 88 minutes, making the plot somewhat hard to follow. Although critics have
given the film a bad rap, Brown makes it watchable, and the film enjoys a healthy cult following. Much the same can be said for
Space Mutiny (1988; with John Phillip Law and Cameron Mitchell),
a direct-to-video release. Some of the special effects in this film were lifted from the TV series Battlestar Galactica.
Space Mutiny aired as episode #820 on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Some of Brown's other action
films include Robowar (1988; with Catherine Hickland), The Firing Line (1988; with Shannon Tweed), Cage (1989; with
Lou Ferrigno and Michael Dante), and Street Hunter (1990; with Steve James and John Leguizamo).
