Code name T-10, future president Ronald Reagan was an FBI informant in the 1940's after the end of WWII. Since Reagan was a member of the SAG (Screen Actors Guild, actor's union) he was used to supply information to the FBI on suspected communists inside Hollywood and the movie business. Although is seems slightly ridiculous now, at the height of the Cold War the threat of communists in the movie business resulted in a type of 'witch hunt', rooting out anything or anyone with un-American ideals.
