Steve "Peg" Reynolds

Steve "Peg" Reynolds (1892–1945) was an African-American actor and stuntman.

[1] Despite missing most of his right leg, hence his nickname Peg, he performed in many action sequences, often as comedic relief, but also in heroic roles.

His 1917 World War I draft registration card lists the leg as missing.

Reynolds was billed as "the one-legged marvel" "who does stunts that no two-legged man can do."

His stunts include "hopping moving trains, climbing on to rooftops and chasing a villain’s speeding car down a dirt road riding a bicycle while shooting at the car with a rifle hidden in his trusty crutch.
