While Will Reeve dabbled in acting as a child, appearing in television movies "In the Gloaming" and "The Brooke Ellison Story," his professional trajectory took a different route compared to that of his famous father, despite sharing his good looks. Will opted for a media presence in journalism, carving a niche for himself as an ESPN commentator and ABC news anchor. Simultaneously, he has fully embraced his late parents' philanthropic endeavors, holding a position as a board member of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
Although Will's professional pursuits may not directly align with his activism, he sometimes manages to intertwine the two. In a notable instance in May 2023, he covered the groundbreaking medical progress of Gert-Jan Oskam on Good Morning America. Oskam, who had been paralyzed from the waist down due to a motorcycle accident, regained the ability to walk, thanks to an implanted AI chip that translates his thoughts into movement.
In his hosting segment, Will remarked with honor, "If I can be a proud son for a moment, you can draw a straight line from [my father's] advocacy to developments like today." He went on to emphasize that Christopher Reeve "would be the first in line to sign up for this procedure." Clearly, Christopher's son shares much more than his physical appearance; Will shares his heart.
