Surprise Find
I forget where I found this photo. I know it wasn't labeled, but I knew immediately it was Jack Reno. The tattoo confirms it.

Jack Reno - Not Naked
Most of my photos of Jack show him fully naked, but this photo reminds me Jack joined AMG when Mizer was still having models wear a pouch. Fortunately that era came to an end while Jack was still modeling at AMG.
This photo is what I call "the teaser campaign" and is actually one of my favorites of this handsome and prolific model.

More W&B
Another group shot from a Wyngate & Bevins film back in the 1960s. Fans of Jim Horn and Jack Reno should be able to spot them in this group photo.

Penny For His Thoughts
Jack Reno did many sessions at AMG. He started in the posing strap era and wss one of the first to go full nude there. In between those sessions, he also posed for Milo and Bruce. He did at least three Wyngate & Bevins films, but (as usual) he was never credited.
Bruce called him Jack Renio and that's who I think took this photo.

Shower Thoughts
Blackie Preston (left) and Jack Reno share a moment in the AMG shower.
While I was in the shower this morning I thought: "It's been a while since I did an AMG shower series." I need to correct that.

Wyngate & Bevins
A set of photos by Wyngate & Bevins from the late 1960s. While W&B made movies, they also sold photos of their models whether or not they were from a movie. I think these photos are a mix of both scenarios and many of them are from the film Ramona.
The problem is W&B rarely identified the models. Fortunately many of the models also did work with AMG and fans of that studio should be able to put names to the faces and other body parts. Well, maybe not all of the body parts. For many of the AMG models this may have been the first time their fans got to see them without a posting pouch.
First up is Jim Horn (left) and Brian Idol.

Fore & Aft
Ron Wallace (left) and Jack Reno in a couple of stills from the AMG film Boy From The Bottle. Jack was billed as Jack Renio in this one.
Speaking of Ron, in one of the Physique Pictorial issues promoting this film Mizer said Ron stood 5ft 7in and weighed 135lbs. Jack was an inch taller and weighed five pounds more. They look bigger in these photos.

Hit The Showers!
Yet another in the series of guys conserving water at the AMG studio. Here we have Jack Reno all alone, then Blackie Preston joins him. I think they did a film together, but I don't think it was ever released.
