He was dismissed from serving as Roger Moore's underwater stunt double in The Saint after attracting notice to Moore's thinning hair. He also appeared as a stuntman in films including Casino Royale (1967) and The Dirty Dozen (1967).

He then became one of the original stars of The Comedians, a popular TV show produced by Johnnie Hamp for the Manchester-based Granada Television, which consisted solely of short slots by mature comedians. Reid stood out, being the only obviously London comedian in a line-up. Reid's most popular catchphrases included "Terrific" (pronounced with emphasis on each syllable), "Get It In" and "Move Yer Arris," among other things.

With a one-off hit record, he capitalized on his initial success with a one-off hit record, a rare copy of The Ugly Duckling on Pye records. It debuted at number ten on the UK singles chart in 1975, where it reached the top of the charts. He appeared on television as the host of the children's TV quiz show Runaround in 1975. In 1981, the runaround was discontinued.

Frank Butcher, a 1989 graduate of the Royal Academy of Television Andchers, rose to fame as a performer, for which he regained a lot of attention over the years.

Over the next two years, his character appeared in several major newspaper stories. Reid was suffering from heart disease at the start of 2000. In May 2000, he announced that he would be leaving the soap for good due to exhaustion from the long filming schedules. He was persuaded to stay on the show for a further five months to give his appearance a dramatic ending. He departed on November 2nd, 2000, shortly after his ex-wife Pat Evans' affair with ex-wife Pat Evans was revealed by his new wife Peggy Mitchell.

In late January 2002, he appeared in three episodes shot in Spain, followed by a spin-off special episode titled "Persecutors" in 2003 and his final appearance in EastEnders in late 2005. In early 2006, he appeared on The Paul O'Grady Show, announcing that he had no concern in any future re-appearances in EastEnders, and later that year, he turned down another bid to return to the series.
