Announcing Andrew Cheney as William Reynolds

The Beyond the Mask team is thrilled to announce that Andrew Cheney is playing the role of our story’s hero William Reynolds.  We are so excited to have the privilege of working with him on this film.  Andrew had stiff competition when he tried out for the part of William Reynolds with over 1200 other actors submitting for the role.  He was the perfect choice and we connected with him right away.

Andrew comes to us with veteran film experience, as the recent star in the SAICFF audience choice award winner “Seasons of Gray.” Athletic and likeable, he enjoys playing soccer and working out.  We have built him a personal training room for his use during the weeks of filming.  Fun to work with, Andrew looks the part and his acting has been blowing us all away.
