[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]
Reginald ‘Reg” George Dent was born in Brentford, Middlesex, England on August 12, 1929. In 1945, Reg’s father-in-law, Johnny Rocks, started a company out of a small farm in Northolt. With a passion for horses and an eye for the emerging film industry, he built the foundation for what would become a legendary family business. Reg and his wife Shirley took over the company and expanded its reach across the film industry, working on countless productions. They then handed it down to their son Steve, who has transformed it into the thriving hub of creativity and skill it is today.
Reg appeared in five films between 1964 – 1979 and performed stunts in one episode of the 1989 television series ‘Bust’.
His son Steve Dent was the stunt coordinator and horse master on the Euro-western “Cold Mountain” in 2003. Steve founded “Steve Dent Stunts” based in Rickmansworth, England.
Dent appeared in only one Euro-westerns as a rider in “Carry on Cowboy” in 1965.
