Proximo, a character in the movie Gladiator, was played by Oliver Reed, who died during the production of the movie.
Proximo was a gladiator who was freed by Marcus Aurelius. Afterward, he became a gladiator trainer himself. In a slave market, Proximo bought Maximus, and trained him as a gladiator. After a few gladiatorial games, Proximo took his best gladiators and went to Rome. After Maximus had won two gladiatorial games in Rome, Proximo was asked to join in a plot to smuggle Maximus out of the city, so that he could return with a Roman Legion and overthrow Commodus. However, Lucius Verus revealed the plan to Commodus, and the Praetorian Guards went to seize Maximus by force. During the Praetorian's attack, Proximo was arrested and stabbed to death.
Trivia
Proximo was originally slated to be the character who buries Maximus' figures in the sand of the Coliseum. The death of Oliver Reed during the film's production, however, required that this be changed.
