Kelly Reno, the child actor known for his role in “The Black Stallion,” largely stepped away from acting after a car accident in 1985. He now lives a private life away from the spotlight.
Reno’s rise to fame began when he was cast as Alec Ramsey in the 1979 film “The Black Stallion,” a role that earned him widespread acclaim at a young age. He reprised his role in the 1983 sequel “The Black Stallion Returns.” However, his acting career was abruptly interrupted when he was involved in a severe car accident in 1985, which left him with multiple injuries and a long recovery period.
After the accident, Reno made a conscious decision to step back from acting. He finished his education and eventually moved on to other pursuits. Reno has since led a life far removed from the entertainment industry, preferring to maintain his privacy. He has occasionally made appearances at film-related events but has otherwise stayed out of the public eye. His experience as a child actor and the subsequent accident had a significant impact on his life choices, leading him to pursue a path outside of Hollywood.
