Default Was that Ollie?

Was that Oliver Reed doing a tiny part in "League of Gentlemen" as a mincing gay actor? I had to rub my eyes. Nothing in the credits though.


If I had a swimming pool, it would probably burn down . . .

Yes it was, big tough Ollie :)

He had a similar role in Value for Money (1955) that stars John Gregson & Diana Dors.

Just imagine if Ollie had got typecast in camp roles!

And don't forget his hilarious turn as far-out jive-daddy 'Plaid Shirt' in Beat Girl (1960).
