Judge Reinhold is an American actor who has a net worth of $2.5 million. Judge Reinhold is best known for appearing in films throughout the '80s, including "Ruthless People," "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Gremlins," and well-known franchises such as "The Santa Clause" and "Beverly Hills Cop." To date, Reinhold has appeared in more than 60 movies.

Early Life

Edward Ernest Reinhold Jr. was born on May 21, 1957, in Wilmington, Delaware. His father was a lawyer, and his parents nicknamed him "Judge" because, as a baby, he made very stern faces. Reinhold was raised in Fredericksburg, Virginia, before his family moved to Martin County, Florida. After finishing high school in Florida, he attended Palm Beach Community College. Judge was raised in a Christian household and remains faithful to this religion today.

Career

One of Judge's first appearances was in an episode of "Wonder Woman" in 1979. He then booked the lead role in the film "Running Scared," in which he played a US soldier. He then booked a role in the comedy film "Stripes" before taking part in the box-office flop "Pandemonium." Reinhold's real breakthrough came in 1982 with the release of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." He appeared alongside a host of then-unknown actors, includingSean Penn,Nicolas Cage, andForest Whitaker.

Although "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" helped put Judge on the map, his next few roles in "The Lords of Discipline" and "Gremlins" were relatively minor. It wasn't until 1984 that he took another major step forward with a supporting role in the film "Beverly Hills Cop." He played Detective Billy Rosewood, a character who becomes friends withEddie Murphy'scharacter.

Despite this success, Judge's career went through another lackluster period with roles in less-than-impressive films such as "Roadhouse 66," "Head Office," and "Off Beat." However, he had more luck with "Ruthless People" in 1986, a film that cemented his reputation as an actor who played the "average Joe" character. He followed up with "Beverly Hills Cop II" in 1987. He then booked the lead in "Vice Versa," a film that ultimately flopped at the box office. After the failure of "Vice Versa," Reinhold admits that his "phone stopped ringing." He also admitted that he had developed a reputation for being difficult to deal with on set and that he was very demanding. Work was hard to come by over the next few years.

Ultimately, Judge Reinhold's financial journey is a testament to their success.
