After playing football at USC, Reb Brown began his acting career in 1973 appearing in the film SSSSSSS. He moved forward to appear in guest starring roles in several television series; including Marcus Welby, M.D., Kojak, and The Rockford Files. He continued this trend of appearing on television, until in 1977 he returned to the big screen as the character Enforcer, in the highly acclaimed surf film, Big Wednesday.
Brown has continued his career moving between television and feature films. He is perhaps best known for portraying the main character, Dave Ryder in Space Mutiny, (1988), which was featured in a well known episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
He also played Captain America in two made-for-TV films/unsuccessful series pilots during the late 1970s, part of the same Marvel Comics/Universal Studios/CBS network development deal that yielded the Lou Ferrigno vehicle, The Incredible Hulk. Coincidentally, the two muscular actors later played Vietnam War veterans/buddies in a pair of action films, Cage (1989) and Cage II (1994). Brown also appeared in Robowar (1988) and Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985). A notable role came in 1983, when he played Blaster, another Vietnam Vet character, who trains with other vets in a POW rescue operation, in Uncommon Valor (1983). He also played the lead in Yor, the Hunter from the Future, (1983), and the supporting role of the only white member of the team in the college basketball comedy, Fast Break, (1979). In a another notable film, Big Wednesday (1978), he played the role of Enforcer.
Reb Brown also appeared in a third-season Miami Vice episode "Viking Bikers From Hell." He was cast as a sociopathic biker, avenging his buddy's recent death.
