Quinn K. Redeker (frequently credited without his middle initial) is best remembered for his recurring roles on the long-running daytime soaps Days of Our Lives (1965) (as nefarious villain Alex Marshall -- in no less than 848 episodes!) and The Young and the Restless (1973) (as con man Rex Sterling). On screen from 1959, Redeker has also guested on many prime time series like Mannix (1967), The Virginian (1962),The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) and Barnaby Jones (1973), usually as authority figures or professional men. At one time, Redeker ran an industrial film company as a sideline to his acting. He also co-authored the screenplay for The Deer Hunter (1978) (including the iconic Russian roulette sequence) which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay. Redeker worked on several occasions with actor/director Robert Redford (The Candidate (1972), The Electric Horseman (1979), Ordinary People (1980)). He portrayed President Ronald Reagan in Big Miracle (2012), his penultimate appearance on the screen. Redeker retired from acting in 2012.
