Starting off as an extra in films in the late 1950s (Reed had no acting training or [[theatrical]] experience), Reed got his first notable roles in [[Hammer Film Productions|Hammer]] films ''[[Robin Hood, l'eroe di Sherwood]]'', ''[[Il mostro di Londra]]'' (entrambi del 1960), ''[[L'implacabile condanna]]'' (1961) e ''[[Il rifugio dei dannati]]'' (1963). In 1964 he starred in the first of six films directed by [[Michael Winner]], ''[[The System]]'', (known as ''[[The Girl-Getters]]'' in the U.S.). He first collaborated with director [[Ken Russell]] in a biopic of [[Claude Debussy]] in 1965, after which came his famous role in ''[[Donne in amore]]'' (1969), in which he wrestled naked with [[Alan Bates]] in front of a log fire; then the controversial 1971 film ''[[I diavoli]]'', and finally the 1975 musical film ''[[Tommy (film)|Tommy]]'', based on [[The Who]]'s 1969 concept album ''Tommy'' and starring its lead singer [[Roger Daltrey]]. In between those films for Russell, Reed played his memorable role of [[Bill Sikes]] in his uncle [[Carol Reed]]'s 1968 screen version of the hit musical ''[[Oliver!]]'', and the title role in the 1969 comedy ''[[Hannibal Brooks]]'', again for director Winner.
Reed starred as Athos in three films based on [[Alexandre Dumas, père|Alexandre Dumas]]'s novels, first in 1973's ''[[I tre moschettieri (film 1973)|I tre moschettieri]]'', seguito da ''[[Milady - I quattro moschettieri]]'' nel 1974, e quindici anni dopo da ''[[Il ritorno dei tre moschettieri]]''. He starred in a similarly historical themed film, ''[[Il principe e il povero (film 1977)|Il principe e il povero]]'', as Miles Hendon alongside [[Raquel Welch]] in 1977, and returned to horror as Dr. Hal Raglan in [[David Cronenberg]]'s 1979 film ''[[Brood, la covata malefica]]''. From the 80s onwards Reed's films had less success, his more notable roles being General Rodolfo Graziani in the 1981 film ''[[Lion of the Desert]]'', which costarred [[Anthony Quinn]] and chronicled the resistance to Italy's occupation of Libya during [[World War II]]; and as the middle aged [[Gerald Kingsland]], who advertises for a 'wife' to live on a desert island for a year. The 'wife' is played by, a mostly naked, [[Amanda Donohoe]] in ''[[Castaway (Lucy Irvine)|Castaway]]'' (1986). He also starred in the Iraqi historical film ''Clash of Loyalties'' (''al-Mas' Ala Al-Kubra'') in 1982 where he played Lt-Col [[Gerard Leachman]] during the 1920 revolution in Iraq. His last major successes were [[Terry Gilliam]]'s ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen]]'' (1988) (as the god [[Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan]]), ''[[Treasure Island]]'' (1990) (as Captain Billy Bones), ''[[Funny Bones]]'' (1995), and his final role as Proximo in ''[[Gladiator (film)|Gladiator]]'', released after his death in 2000 (some footage depicting Reed's character was filmed after his death with a double digitally mixed with outtake footage taken before Reed's death). He was posthumously nominated for a British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in [[Gladiator (2000 film)|Gladiator]]. He was also posthumously nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award along with the rest of the principal players of [[Gladiator (2000 film)|Gladiator]] for Best Ensemble Cast.
When the UK government raised taxes on personal income, Reed initially declined to join the exodus of major British film stars to [[Hollywood]] and other more tax-friendly locales. During this time he began proclaiming himself as "Mr England", and turned down major roles in two hugely successful Hollywood movies: ''[[The Sting]]'' (1973) (although he did appear in the less than stellar sequel) and ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' (1975). His ''Daily Telegraph'' obituary noted that in the late 1970s Reed was finally obliged to relocate to the Channel Islands as a tax exile.
An anecdote holds that Reed could have been chosen to play [[James Bond]]. Nel 1969, Bond franchise producers [[Albert R. Broccoli]] and [[Harry Saltzman]] were looking for a replacement for [[Sean Connery]], and Reed was a prime candidate. They ultimately decided against hiring him, however, because they felt his public, alcohol-fueled antics made him too much of a liability. After Reed's death, the ''[[Guardian Unlimited]]'' called the casting decision "one of the great missed opportunities of post-war British movie history ... He would also have spared us [[George Lazenby]], and perhaps [[Roger Moore]] as well."
