Kelly Reno (born June 19, 1966)[1] is a former child actor, rancher, and trucker.
At age 13, he was cast in the role of Alec Ramsey, the young boy who is marooned on a deserted island along with an Arabian horse,[2] in The Black Stallion (based on the novel by Walter Farley).
Directed by Carroll Ballard and co-starring Mickey Rooney and Teri Garr, the film was made in 1979.
After graduating from high school, Reno was driving a pick-up truck that was hit by a semi-truck.
The resultant injuries were severe, and the long recovery time squelched his acting career.
