Early life and education


Reitz was born and raised in Rochester, New York. He was the middle of five creative children.
Growing up an all-star baseball player in the Rochester suburb of Henrietta, Reitz never wandered far from the arts and music, appearing in his first play as the Polynesian boy, Jerome, in South Pacific with his dad at age 11. He graduated with honors from Rush-Henrietta High School in 1973 and continued to participate in theater while attending Bowling Green State University (Ohio), where he primarily studied Radio/TV/Film, graduating cum laude in 1977.

Over the following years, Reitz bounced between Rochester, New York City and Los Angeles, as he pursued his acting career, eventually landing in Atlanta, Georgia in 1981 with Noel Bagrowski, also from Rochester, who would become his wife that same year.
His on-screen resume began with a small role in the television movie Case Closed and has grown to lead roles in films like: The Last of Robin Hood, with Kevin Kline, Susan Sarandon, and Dakota Fanning, Where The Devil Hides, with Colm Meaney and Rufus Sewell, and The Loft, with Karl Urban, James Marsden and Rachael Taylor. Reitz has also been a recurring character on television series like: Revolution, Drop Dead Diva and Surface. He is the current president of SAG-AFTRA Atlanta.

He is president of Ric Reitz Writes, Inc., an award-winning writing and production company, and the president/manager of Sir Fir Books & Music, an award-winning children's music and publishing company. Specifically, Reitz was the creator and author of two children's titles: The Journey of Sir Douglas Fir: A Reader’s Musical and Second Chance Christmas: A Symphonic Play.
