- A new web documentary 'In Search of a Legend', Mark Reed talks frankly and exclusively to Rob Crouch, actor and co-writer of new play, Oliver Reed: Wild Thing, about his father Oliver Reed. Part 1 of 3 parts. Made by Fourth Flight Films.
I grew up watching his movies. He was a very intelligent actor.We don't have actors of his caliber any more. He was a great actor
his son seems such a nice guy, Ollie is a legend i remember seeing him in the hammer horrors and oliver twist and many many films, he had such a presence
Ollie was certainty not a nice guy lol
I loved Oliver, he was a bloody fine actor and he never took fame remotely seriously. I'm so proud that he found real happiness here in Ireland with an Irish girl. We considered him one of our own, we really did. Good man Ollie! 😘❤️
Are you still in love?
His wife Josephine was from Sussex, they moved to Ireland nine years after they married, she wasn’t Irish.
Oliver was a man's man and great talent rip Ollie
Wonderful...I learnt alot about Oliver from this. His son sounds very proud of his father and I'm sure Oliver would be proud of what his son said about him.
I can relate to this, my late farther loved nothing better on a Saturday, going to the pub, reading the paper, writing his bet out and having a few pints before going home and cooking himself his dinner. RIP dad. Hope your having a few with Mr Reed.
Oliver Reed is on of my most favorite actors! He was such a great actor and his English accent I just love! Never really knew anything personal, just that I likes all his movies, but was saddened to see how he drank and how he was perceived to others for his drinking! But all in all doesn't change my liking for him, his works stand for how gifted he was! RIP Ollie!
He was a great actor and, after seeing his children, no doubt a great father!
Watching this 2019. 20 years since Ollies passing. A great man!
Wonderful! Thanks for keeping the memory of Ollie alive.
Loved watching Ollie Reed on the telly when I was a kid although his Bill Sykes character scared the hell out of me. What a looker he was when he was young too. I've watched so many of his interviews recently, he seemed like an intelligent, interesting charming man when he was sober, his son looks and sounds very much like his father. Ollie was a proper alpha Male, feminists disliked him but real woman loved him.
Are you still in love?
What a great guy rip oliver
Larger than life is what comes to mind when I think of Oliver Reed. Truly a great actor and man. Yes they don't make actors like him today.
"Yes they don't..."? x
Oliver Reed was a fantastic man
Oliver Reed was simply a very intelligent gentleman with fantastic acting skills.
What I really dislike is when he was wheeled about & booze was given to him in order to get people talking in a negative way and sell newspapers. Very sad some of the interviews.
Watch him in his prime, some of his interviews are brilliant.
Ollie really knew how to live life to the full. When he was interested in something, he always put 100% of himself into it, as if he wanted to enjoy it to its fullest. Respect to Mr Reed. Forget his drinking. He left us a great film legacy and for that, we should all be grateful. RIP, Mr Reed. Your movies will live on.
He is the most genuine human being I’ve ever seen. Completely himself in whatever mood he is in and doesn’t hold back like most people. A kind of honesty that I’ve never seen before. We all have a monster in us that’s grown through years of living down here taking thunderbolts by so many but we try to hide that monster so we come across as nice and normal but this man didn’t hide it. Therefor there is no hidden demon that will burst out after to much stress but he exercised both sides of himself which I think created a balance that most people do not have.
Just learning more about this extraordinary man!
Great documentary hope your well Simon rip ollie xx
God bless you Ollie! Rest in peace!
Unnecessary superstitious graffiti nonsense
Silly boy
Oliver Reed was a true movie star. You can certainly say that Oliver Reed stood shoulder to shoulder with the great Hollywood actors for screen presence and that certain something that gets people on the edge of their seats. He starred in some great movies and some not so great movies, however, you couldn’t take your eyes off him. What saddens me slightly is that people feel the need to talk about his drinking and how he drank too much. Well that was part of he man. Oliver Reed brought it all together to create, I stress, a natural legend that lives on his both our consciousness and hearts. Legend.
ollies son is the spitting image of him
Only if he is a nasty, vile rapist
No he's not.
@@philbemji3337 You encephalous, cretin bastard, you should be horsewhipped for saying that tripe.
But he doesnt have his fathers great voice
Similar faces and similar cadences in the voice.
Top man brilliant actor and what a character the lad had charisma in spades God rest him
He wasn't afraid to live and my goodness he must have made some fantastic memories! A night with Ollie would have been carved in the memory and warmed the soul long after the event. Passion is everything and if you care as much at the end of your life as you did when you began is truly a mark successful living. RIP
Love this! Oliver Reed was awesome!
Love yourself
He looks so much like his dad
Really lovely stuff. Well done chaps. Look forward to seeing more of this.
ollie is a legend and very underrated actor
He was a very good drama and light comedy actor
I really liked all his movies he was a very handsome men very talented men we had a liked him .
I remember watching him on a talk show where he discussed with the host how he taught a fellow actor how to work at the depth,s of his character he was working on,with a brilliant breakdown of said character.
I really enjoyed all 3 of these videos and the rest of the videos he's in .I've not had a drink for 15 years .but had to throw the towel in when I lost everything including myself and my state of mind but he's the type of company I would have loved to have been in when drinking .I'm not well educated but he was a very clever man with a soft side who wanted to enjoy himself and was not just the normal quite man in the pub .I know he would of liked me then .because I could of made him laugh but he wouldn't like me now because I'm boring and Sick of myself now.how I loved those days with the naughty boys but I can't go back there because of where it mentally takes me . sorry about the me me me but I really enjoyed all these videos and would have loved being in his company if it ever occured
My girlfriend in the early 80s saw Ollie in a Dublin pub.
Sat at the bar his party trick was to lift himself high up bodily off the stool using his forearms only. It requires immense upper body strength.
Oliver Reed was once offered a role as a James Bond villain. He would have been excellent.
He was originally offered the role of Bond in OHMSS, which would have been brilliant
I think so too....did he refuse@?
If one guy could sum up everthing great about british people, culture, humor, warmth, fury, ...... it might be Ollie Reed......R.I.P
Oliver Reed's son seems a very decent down to earth chap....good character.
He's actually not from my generation.....I might have seen movies here and there featuring Oliver Reed. Peter O'Toole's name I knew, primarily from seeing 'Murphy's law' when I was a kid. Richard Harris is another one like Reed I have seen but don't remember the name due to me being young. I was surprised he was the lead in 'A man called horse'.....which I indeed saw so many years ago.
Of course 'Gladiator' made me more aware of the names of these gents. So I'm more actively seeking out their works and found out more about their, let's say scoundrel ways....oh my what a stories, have me backwards laughing 🤣.
Just 2 days ago I ordered the books 'Hellraisers', both in text and the graphic novel one.
Yes, these guys were the last of a certain breed.....interesting characters because they were so real.
I love how down to earth he was and not so oh luvvie type of actor
Mark not only looks like him, but sounds like him too
love Ollie - Women in Love. 'I came because I must', his honest delivery was probably so honest because he was looking at Glenda Jackson's great knockers! - ha ha - Ollie said that himself. Oliver Reed is for the record, more emotionally intuitive than Richard Harris and on a par with Burton. For fans of this era - the fascination is undoubtedly to do with them outside of their work, but what a gent. Thank you Mark Reed for your time in giving such insight into your father, enjoyed this immensely :)
2018 and still a fan.. brilliant, powerful, elite, thespian
Brilliant actor his book is a must for fans r I p dear Ollie
He would have made a terrific James Bond!
He was too short and fat.
It's when I view this kind of material and what Oliver Reed was that I am again reminded that none of us...not one..die, we merely transition from this arena to another. Oliver Reed, among so many other greats, John Lennon as but one example, proves to my satisfaction that life is short for a reason; we are all here for a very brief interlude called life to do what we were sent here to do only to eventually be called onto the next experience. And, if I am wrong...well, fuck me!
robert glenn I like to think the same. Personally, I feel we are here to realise and learn something, that our personal journey is as long or as short as we need it to be for us to realise something until we are off to our next life. Everyone is different and not all lessons are pleasant. Sometimes it takes great pain and tragedy for us to be ready to go to the next life.
robert glenn what evidence do you have for your assertion other than hope?
Yep. This universe is just a holographic illusion and our bodies are simply vehicles that carry the mind and our minds carry the consciousness that we all share but we’re just different points of attention. The body dies but the consciousness can never be destroyed.
Wonderful stuff!
Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest film actors of all time.
Oliver was a one off his son is following his foot steps a very nice person
Hi there, yes we're touring the UK and Ireland at the moment. All dates/details can be found on our website and its being updated all the time.
Cheers,
ORWT
Socializing in the pub was important part of his life? Country side living was important for him. Moody man and actor which made him very interesting character. Thank you
The stillness - the silence, the canvas - see power of "The Thunderclap' the Icelanding cheer that did for Hodgson's England...
Oliver reeds son is a lot like his Dad, his mannerisms and looks. Oliver Reed was unlike a lot of actors today, he’s just himself, a man of the people. A squire who was proud to live in Britain, even when most actors, during his heyday were moving abroad because of tax purposes. Top man! 🇬🇧
great video! thank you so much!
Truly remarkable piece of engineering,cheers
Wow...the son looks like him a lot!
This is great reflecting!! Love it!
Son very handsome like his dad I liked is eyes Ollie reed brill actor God bless you Oliver reed xxx
Oliver you where a legend, I named my son after you , and yes he likes a drink
Great man
Fantastic 😊
Brilliant actor who enjoyed himself & life.
Good to see Mark is drinking a Ramrod and Special. A superb drink, almost forgotten. The last time I was in the Hand there was a guy drinking the same. Since the bottle would over-fill the glass, he put his pint pot on the carpet and let his pug dog take an inch of beer, then poured the rest in for himself.

So excited to find this! Cant wait to watch it.
As a Brit, I've always thought Pubs, are our community centers .
With the exception of the eyes, Mark Reed looks almost identical to his dad. :D
From certain angles later on in the show even the eyes look like his dad. It's when he's on his father's property. It's freaky. It's like he morphs in Oliver Reed for a second!
my god I loved him totally even when he talked shite
Finished watching "The Sell Out" whilst tossing darts. Love Oliver's big hand/big finger acting! lol
Oliver Reed would’ve been amazing master Jedi in Star Wars
Fuck off with your Star Wars shite. Ollie would piss all over your Sci fi fantasy! x
A British legend
This is great, who but his son would give us the insights of how it all was for Ollie. Mark has his voice a bit and style.
The resemblance!
"The sensational stuff". Lol. Oliver Reed revelled in it in life and death.
Here is what he drank before dropping dead:
He drank 8 pints of lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey, and several shots of cognac.
He went out sensetionally.
@Erin F we have met Sarah Reed and spoken with her but she prefers not to talk in public
+Ollie Reed Play, I must say, being a young yank across the pond I miss out on so many great opportunities, like meeting Oliver Reed, and/or his family. Thank you for sharing this documentary online so that I may share in it.
I would be so chuffed to bits to meet Mark Reed and just have a great discussion.
*Jealous and Happy*
Ollie Reed Play wh
Who is sara reed
my gosh how you look like him i cant watch any more
His lad seems a decent chap....
its weird to come across a documentary where two people doing it are like clones of the person the documentary is about ,omg there like modern day oliver duplicates .
''legend''
Took me about 5 minutes of not seeing the scar to know it was not Robert.
Sir Oliver Reed
Proper bloke, rather be in the pub with normal people than be with the actor snobs.....fair play
The son seems a more mysterious subject for examination than the father.
what a dear man your father was ,,im sorry i didnt know he had a child,, may i ask sir,,plz any way to get a photo of mr.reed,,,reid was my last name at on time,,iv been to england and no one would say where he was laid to rest,,,im on the page of his movie the hunting party ,, god bless you
OLLIE! :0)
Olly was a classic
My god its like two cloned Oliver Reeds .
One thing about Oliver I believe that what you seen was what you got with Oliver I don't think that guy hid a dam thing from anybody from what I've seen either you liked Oliver or you didn't and I really don't think he gave a dam or to hear him say it a bloody dam I personally liked the hell out of Oliver and only wished I could have had at least one drink with the old boy but be careful he was liable to crack your head if you said something stupid R.I.P. wild man your dearly missed.
Is the play still on?
reminds me of harold steptoe
"in a kaff"or is it "in a caff"? Kiitos, anyhow.
Yello, You're Tops! recess sneeze 11
Carol Reed was his uncle. That’s pedigree . Didn’t know.
What exactly differentiates great British actors from great American actors?
thiggs93 Great British actors are from Britain and have British accents, and great American actors are from America and have American accents?
Nicholas Phillip Oh I suppose I forgot about that bit. Very clever.
@@thiggs93 Ollie was great but I still think Brando was the maestro. The American actors , the best ones, have that superior talent that can't be emulated
Christ, he doesn't half look and sound like his old man. Reed, for all of his wild shite, sounds like a decent bloke, just a shame the alcohol got the better of him. His son seems a proper gent, lovely, bloke.
Didn't he have a daughter, too? How come she's never interviewed?
Maybe Sarah doesn't want 2. Having a famous father does not obligate one 2 sit 4 interviews.
Nicole Six Mikelson True. But I hardly ever hear of her. I even tried searching her, and it was like searching myself--barley anything comes up. Maybe she just doesn´t want all that. I wonder what she looks like, because Mark looks like Oliver.
+Erin F from her childhood photos I can only imagine she is a gorgeous female Oliver-duplicate. I wholly respect her, and applaud her for staying away from the spotlight.
Marie Shively I've seen one childhood photo of her. She was with Ollie as a little girl. (She was the little girl, not Ollie, hehe.)
+Erin F Thank you so much for the laugh, I needed that (Ollie as a little girl... *snert*)
Love Oliver Reed, but don't buy any of the poor upbringing bullsh*t!
Anj Khar ..yes .Wimbledon Village & Carol Reed being your uncle
None of his family who were leaving him anything had died at that point so he hadn’t inherited anything when he had his children so it’s true he did have to work hard at the start to look after the family that’s not a lie you only have to do your research and your see
The hand in hand is overrated and very over priced and the crooked billet next door is just as bad.
Max Clifford outed Reed as a paedophile.
Mark Harrison.... is that the same Max Clifford who was locked up for, I think, 8 years for being paedophile? 😂😂
Boring doc
his daughter probably doesn't get asked because she's the illegitamit child and he's the better one who cares why? are you fed up with your girlfriend that you wannna see her.
The truth is this... he was a vile alcoholic who did a few movies. End of
