Any movies you think he might have been in if he lived longer?


There's none that really stand out to me

He could have been in a number of roles that went to actor Brian Cox imho.

Same barrel chested gate and soul piercing demeanor. Imagine if he was in Adaptation, Troy, or even Lord of the Rings (Theoden or Denethor).

He would have been thoroughly terrifying as Denethor. Great alternate casting!

Denethor would have been a great role for Reed. The actor who played the role was unremarkable at best.

If he were alive and several decades younger for the filming of Game of Thrones, say, in his 40s, I think he would have made an excellent Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. Also a wonderful Robert Baratheon.
