Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

In his interview with The List, actor Tim Reid said that fans still recognize him from a variety of his past projects. "I've been in the business for a long time, so younger people know me from 'Sister, Sister,' now that it reruns on Netflix. Some of them know me from 'That '70s Show.' Some of the other people know me from 'Simon & Simon.' They know me from other things. The baby boomers know me from 'WKRP in Cincinnati,' and a few know me from 'Frank's Place.'"

The actor is also grateful for his continued collaboration with the Lifetime channel, especially around the holidays. He said, "I'm glad to see these movies being made, these Christmas movies every year. It gives actors, writers, and [other] people an opportunity to go beyond the standard genre of films." 

Tim Reid also shared an especially meaningful story from an interaction with a fan, in which a father brought his son to an autograph signing for "Sister, Sister." He recalled that the man said, "I was my son's age when my father brought me up to you to sign an autograph for 'WKRP in Cincinnati.' It's one of my favorite memories of my career so far," Reid said.
