- Handsome Reginald Fenderson was a talented actor, one of the top black movie stars. Before the movies, he was quite popular on the stage, appearing in "Sailor, Beware!," and he became famous in the stage version of "Green Pastures."
Fenderson became worldwide known through what were known as "race films" or "all black cast" independent films. He was quite popular with movie audiences, appearing in dozens of movies as the gangster, or best friend of the gangster. He appeared in the best of the black cast films, such as Gang Smashers, Am I Guilty?, Bargain with Bullets, Four Shall Die, Gang War, Lady Luck, Life Goes On, Lucky Ghost, Prison Bait, Reform School, While Thousands Cheer etc.
He wasn't always the star of films, but he made his presence known with his natural, cool, collective acting. He only appeared in one Hollywood film and that was "Green Pastures."
