THAT’S A WRAP
On film he stars as Mandroid, the half-man, half-machine aluminum foil of evil Dr. Reeves in the “Eliminators.” In life he’s Patrick Reynolds, 32, grandson of tobacco’s R.J. Reynolds, and a cousin of Richard S., the founder of Reynolds Metals.
“I guess you could say I was Reynolds-wrapped for the role,” the actor quipped to Outtakes. He was happy to do his own stunts during 3 1/2 months on location in Spain, but wasn’t enamored of the 105 weather: “Frankly, it was quite refreshing (during stunts) to be dumped into the water.”
The Empire International release, due out Jan. 31, tells the story of a beautiful scientist (played by Denise Crosby, granddaughter of Bing), a tough river guide, a ninja and the aforementioned android, who team up to stop Dr. Reeves’ plans for world domination.
