Comedian, actor and director Tim Reid was born in Norfolk, Virginia on December 19th in 1944. Reid earned his Bachelor Of Business Administration degree at Norfolk State College (now a University) in 1968, the same year he got into show business.
The early years of his entertainment career were spent with fellow comedian Tom Dreesen, a Harvey, Illinois native. Together they formed the comedy duo "Tim and Tom", which has been called the first American interracial comedy team. They published a book together about those days titled "Tim & Tom: A 'Black And White' Comedy Duo".
Reid has also directed some films, but spent most of his career in various American television series. You may remember seeing him in Highlander, Frank's Place, Sister Sister or That 70's Show. The best and most well remembered series he appeared in was WKRP In Cincinnati.
