Milton Rutherford Reid (29 April 1917 – c. 1987) was an Indian-born British actor and professional wrestler. He was born in India, the son of a Scottish-born Customs and Excise inspector and an Indian woman. He wrestled in England under the name of The Mighty Chang.As an actor, Reid was known for playing thugs, henchmen and brutes, typified by his role as Yen in the film Ferry to Hong Kong (1959) that starred Curd Jürgens and Orson Welles. He played the big pirate in Swiss Family Robinson (1960). Reid appeared in two James Bond films as Dr. No's Guard in Dr. No (1962) and as Sandor, Roger Moore's opponent in a roof top fight in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). He also appeared in the non-Eon Productions Bond film Casino Royale (1967) in which he had a bit part as a guard. Reid also appeared as a henchman in the Bulldog Drummond film Deadlier Than the Male (1966).Reid attempted to secure the role of Oddjob in Goldfinger (1964). He challenged fellow professional wrestler Harold "Tosh Togo" Sakata to a wrestling match; the outcome of which would determine who would get the role. As Reid had already appeared in Dr. No, the producers decided to go with Sakata, and the wrestling match did not take place.In the early 1970s he appeared as a bodyguard in a TV commercial for St Bruno pipe tobacco, a role which he reprised in a spoof advert for "Butch" tobacco in Kitten Kong, an episode of the BBC series The Goodies. Reid also appeared in a handful of cult horror movies including Dr. Phibes Rises Again, and several British sex films, most notably, Come Play with Me (1977), Adventures of a Private Eye (1978) and Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair (1979). Additionally Reid accepted non-sexual roles in a couple of hardcore porn films, including Arabian Nights, shot in London in 1979.Reid appeared in over 53 films and television programs from 1953 to 1979. He travelled back to India where his mother and sister reside, and he supposedly died of a heart attack in 1987, and his son was still receiving written correspondence from him in 1986. His death is something of a mystery due to the conflicting dates of death and also because he died in relative obscurity in India. No death certificate was recorded.
