A role that slipped away
Reid tried to get the part of Oddjob in Goldfinger by challenging fellow wrestler Harold "Tosh Togo" Sakata to a shoot fight, with the winner to take the role. Since Reid had been in Dr. No, the producers picked Sakata and the match never took place.
A change of course
Before turning to acting, Reid was a professional wrestler who fought under the ring names Jungle Boy and The Mighty Chang, and he once faced Bert Assirati.
First role
Reid served in the Army during World War II. While a soldier, he appeared for the first time on film as an extra in The Way Ahead (1944).
