Reginald Fenderson was an actor in theatrical productions and films in the United States. He appeared in various films with African American casts in the 1930s and 1940s.
Fenderson was an actor on the stage version and road tour of Green Pastures, playing the characters Joshua and the magician for at least five years.[1] He played a feature role in the film Reform School,[2] as an inmate named Freddie Gordon. The newspaper The Washington Afro-American stated that Fenderson "[handled] the role Freddie Gordon with admirable restraint, and is never guilty of melodramatics in a part that easily lends itself to over-portrayal."[3]
He was married to Ella J. in 1933. In 1938 they filed for divorce.[1]
