Reynaldo Rosales Movies
A native of Paducah, KY, born in 1978, actor Reynaldo Rosales entered show business in his early twenties, initially signing for guest parts on television series including Charmed, Law & Order, and Smallville, then moving into features. From project to project, Rosales exuded an all-American look and presence that could either be used to sincere effect or to mask a sense of subtle menace, and that gave him enough versatility to tackle either supporting or lead roles with equal aplomb. Features that included Rosales in the cast included Spike Lee's disjointed seriocomedy She Hate Me (2004) and (in a lead capacity) in the gothic horror opus House (2007), as a husband who, along with his wife and another couple, becomes one of the intended victims of a bunch of bloodthirsty Satanists. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
Director Robby Henson's psychological thriller House concerns a husband and wife who, attempting to patch up their marriage after the death of their child, decide on a spur of the moment to ignore their regularly scheduled therapy session and set off on a trip. After a car accident incapacitates their vehicle, the duo ends up at the title dwelling, where they meet another couple as well as the off-putting people who own the establishment. Soon, the two couples realize they must rely on each other in order to survive. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

According to the NBC publicity department, the creators of the weekly, hour-long series Inconceivable, Oliver Goldstick and Marco Pennette, had drawn inspiration from their own lives, in which surrogate parents and in vitro fertilization had been utilized to expand their families. The weekly, 60-minute series was set at Family Options Fertility Clinic, headed by Dr. Rachel Lu (Ming-Na). Although she had had her own baby through the in vitro process, she was a "strictly business" type, never allowing her emotions to dictate her work. In sharp contrast, Lu's partner, Dr. Malcolm Bower (Jonathan Cake), was driven by his gut instincts -- not only on the job, but also in his life choices, especially when it came to romantic relationships. Also on hand was rebellious, headstrong fertility doctor Nora Campbell, played by former Law & Order co-star Angie Harmon (an eleventh-hour addition to the series, replacing actress Alfre Woodard, who'd signed as a regular on Desperate Housewives). The other staffers at Family Options included Scott (David Noroña), Patrice (Joelle Carter), Marissa (Mary Catherine Garrison), and Angel (Reynaldo Rosales). The plots dealt not only with the efforts to provide infertile couples with viable conception options, but also with the unintended ramifications of such procedures; in the opening episode, for example, a white couple is outraged when they find out that their baby will be black. In an intriguing example of "life imitates art," Angie Harmon had just given birth before filming started, while her co-star Ming-Na became pregnant not long after production got under way. Inconceivable was first brought into the world on September 23, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Directed by Spike Lee, She Hate Me follows John Henry "Jack" Armstrong (Anthony Mackie), who is fired from a posh job in biotechnology after informing the proper authorities of some sketchy business dealings from within the company. Unemployed and desperate for some quick cash, Jack accepts a strange offer -- his ex-girlfriend Fatima (Kerry Washington) says she will pay him generously if he successfully impregnates her. Once word gets out among the lesbian community, Jack is inundated with requests, and is initially quite happy with his new direction in life. However, things -- as they are wont to do -- get complicated. There's his former employer, who is actively trying to pin the blame for their wrongdoings on his shoulders, for one thing, and it isn't long before the moral implications of his life as a sperm donor come to the forefront. The film co-stars John Turturro, Ellen Barkin, Woody Harrelson, Monica Bellucci, and Q-Tip. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Apparently killed in a fall from a high hospital window, Tyler Randall (Reynaldo Rosales) in fact survives. Unfortunately, a kryptonite band on his wrist has become imbedded in Tyler's arm, imbuing him with the power to burn people to death with the slightest touch. Suffering under the delusion that he has been put on Earth to "euthanize" those who are already doomed to die, Tyler embarks upon a terrifying killing spree, which can only be halted by the one person immune to his power -- Clark Kent (Tom Welling). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In another episode loosely inspired by actual events, the limo driver for star baseball player Kevin Seleeby (Reynaldo Rosales) is murdered. When it turns out that the victim was regularly supplying steroids to his boss, Seleeby becomes the prime suspect. But, as often happens on this series, the DA's office discovers that nothing is cut and dried, not even what seems to be irrefutable evidence. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Robert Englund, the inimitable "Freddy Krueger" of Nightmare on Elm Street fame, is cast to type in this Charmed episode as the demon Gamill. Choosing "Charmed One" Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) as his victim, Gamill shrinks the girl to the size of five inches, then uses her as bait to lure Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Paige (Rose McGowan) into a trap. Ultimately, all three girls are magically miniaturized -- but is it possible that they can they use their diminished size to their advantage in vanquishing the malevolent Gamill? ~ All Movie Guide
