Reginald Garner

Reginald Lopez Garner is best known for the Independent Film called "The Shop" and a local TV Series in the San Francisco, Oakland CA Bay Area called "The Dirty". Reginald (Reggie) Garner was born and raised in Philadelphia PA. Reggie was first introduced to the arts while attending Parochial School. It was a Nun who took a special interest in Reggie's untapped talent and took him under her wings. She 1st cast him as Judas in a musical called Jesus Christ Superstar and it was while performing in this production that Reggie discovered his love for the arts. As Reggie continued his education, his interest was divided between his love for Theater, Basketball & Track & Field. He has starred in Several Theatrical Productions while attending College, including Tennessee Williams, The Rose Tattoo, & 10 Little Indians etc. It was while attending College at Texas A&M University that Reggie decided to serve his country and enlisted into the United States Navy.

It was not until 2009 that Reggie decided on a whim to once again revisit a dream deferred and auditioned for an independent film called Ghetto Magnolia out of Oakland CA and was pleasantly surprised to "garner" the part of the hero and nurturer Jonathan Donaldson. The production has taken on many different aspects from a proposed TV series to a Theatrical play (Ghetto Magnolia Stage Play 2012) with Reggie playing the more menacing character "Caine".

This successful run at the Malonga Theater for the Arts in Oakland Ca, afforded Reggie some additional exposure and he has since been afforded the opportunity to star in Various Independent Films, 2 Reality re-enactment TV shows, 1 TV Series, 2 Web Series, A Music Video, and numerous Educational Videos for the Federal Government.
