MOVIE URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: Oliver Reed appeared in scenes in Gladiator filmed after the actor died.<\/p>\n

Born in 1938, Oliver Reed lived the life you would think only happened in movies, as a star who spent most of his years drinking, fighting and having an all-around good time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Reed began acting in the late 1950s, and starred in a number of movies, perhaps most notably at the time in his uncle Carol Reed’s version of Oliver (as Bill Sikes). <\/p>\n

The tough, strapping Reed had a similar look to Sean Connery, but Reed’s reputation as a womanizer and party animal kept him from being seriously considered for Bond when Connery left the role. <\/p>\n

Anyhow, in 1999, after four decades in the film business, Reed began filming Gladiator, as Proximo, the slave dealer who “owned” the titular character in the film. <\/p>\n
