Biography: The legendary British actor and hell-raiser began his film career in the late 1950s. In 1968 he played the role of Bill Sikes in the aware-winning musical Oliver!, directed by his uncle Carol Reed. Shamelessly outspoken, he once explained, ‘I do not live in the world of sobriety’. He died during the filming of Gladiator in 2000 – having drunk three bottles of rum – leaving director Ridley Scott the multi-million pound task of digitally recreating Reed’s face for his remaining scenes in the film.
