=== Behind the Scenes ===
* Reinhardt was portrayed by Maximilian Schell.
* Schell stated in a 1979 interview with Bobby Wygant, "It's always difficult for me to describe a character, because I prefer to play it. But I can tell you what he's supposed to be. It's a scientist who lives twenty years up in space and wants to discover the black hole, which promises him to give the ultimate knowledge, which people not have known so far."Maximilian Schell "The Black Hole" 1979 - Bobbie Wygant Archive - The Bobby Wygant Archive - 29 August 2020 - YouTube - Retrieved 24 October 2020
* Director Gary Nelson and producer Ron Miller had both envisioned the role with Schell in mind. Schell suggested in face to face meeting in Vienna that Jason Robards be cast instead, after having seen Washington: Behind Closed Doors, but was swayed upon learning that Nelson had directed the miniseries."We Never Had an Ending:" How Disney's 'Black Hole' Tried to Match 'Star Wars' - David Weiner - 13 December 2019 - The Hollywood Reporter - Retrieved 24 October 2020
