4. Oliver reed as proximo
Proximo is a former gladiator who has now turned into a trainer and holds an important place in Maximus’ life as he trains him and helps him succeed. Sadly, Reed died while the film was shot, and his character’s work was done later with the help of computer graphics.
Proximo in Gladiator was distinguished by the actor Oliver Reed, who died in May 1999 just a couple of months before the release of the movie.
Due to his performances as well as his unique signature style, he enjoyed a career across three decades. Of course, it was a big-time tragedy for Hollywood when Reed died, but with what he achieved, he can be remembered through his blockbuster movies such as The Three Musketeers and Women in Love. Reed’s last movie gladiator was finished after his death and the character was created using special effects.
