Reinholt played the character of Erik Fulda in The Secret Storm for a year starting in 1967.

His greatest fame came with two subsequent soap roles: Steve Frame on Another World from 1968 to 1975, and Tony Harris Lord on One Life to Live from 1975 to 1977.

In 1997 Reinholt placed an ad in a local paper offering his services to take women to parties or other events.

Reinholt was furious and appeared on the Sally Jessy Raphael talk show to clear up the record.

On November 11, 2013 Reinholt died of cancer at his home in Essington, Pennsylvania at the age of 73.
