biography
Bull-necked, muscular British actor Oliver Reed got his first big break terrifying children in the BBC's kids series "The Golden Spur", and though he has played plenty of ruthless, scheming villains, he has proved his versatility through the years in numerous comedic and swashbuckling parts. After landing his first starring role in "The Curse of the Werewolf" (1961), he attracted attention as a sadistic and lecherous motorcycle gang leader in Joseph Losey's "The Damned" (1963; released in the USA as "These Are the Damned" in 1965) and as an upper class cut up in Michael Winner's "The Jokers"
