James Reynolds has played Abe Carver of “Days of our Lives” for 45 years. He is a beloved member of the cast and the longest running Black actor on TV.
But Reynolds is human and he’s 80 years old. He just told ET that he has Parkinson’s Disease.
Unlike the old days when Procter & Gamble kicked “Guiding Light” actor Michael Zaslow to the curb when got ALS, Peacock and Sony will incorporate Reynolds’ condition into the show. That’s a huge bit of news.
He says in the interview below he realized the Parkinson’s symptoms after he saw Alan Alda on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
I know so many people taking Cinemet aka carbidopa levidopa, and it works with a lot of rest and good nutrition. Michael J. Fox has been the trailblazer. I wish Mr. Reynolds all the best!
