	Actors - Judge Reinhold

Judge Reinhold (born May 21 1957 in Wilmington, Delaware) is an American actor best known for co-starring in movies such as Beverly Hills Cop
and Ruthless People
.

Early life

Reinhold, born Edward Ernest Reinhold, Jr., lived in Fredericksburg, Virginia until his family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida before Reinhold's junior year in high school. He didn't care for West Palm and moved, independently, to Stuart, Florida. He lived alone; his father paid the rent so long as Reinhold maintained sufficient grades at Martin County High School, where he attended his junior and senior years. His screen name, Judge, is a nickname his father gave him in his youth. After his education at Mary Washington College and then the North Carolina School of the Arts, he performed at various regional theatres, including Burt Reynolds's Dinner Theater in Jupiter, Florida, before getting his first break on TV in an ABC Afterschool Special: A Step Too Slow.

Acting career

His first major film role was as high schooler Brad Hamilton in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
. He played Detective Billy Rosewood, the nice-guy detective sent to trail Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop
(1984). In 1986, he starred in Ruthless People
, once again cast in a part requiring qualities of decency and dependability.

Although he has now made more than 76 films, Reinhold's career has slowed since the mid-1980s, although he appeared in two widely released films, Beverly Hills Cop III
and The Santa Clause
, in 1994. Reinhold cameoed as himself on two episodes of the third season of Arrested Development, headlining a fictional show called Mock Trial with J. Reinhold. Reinhold had previously played himself as a judge on an episode of Clerks: The Animated Series
.

Private life

Reinhold, a born-again Christian, has worked with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America's Smart Moves program in Santa Fe, New Mexico (as of November, 2003). Recently, Reinhold has been seen attending Arizona Diamondback games. He also has expressed his interest in managing the team, if the chance ever presents itself.
