Walter Reed (born Walter Reed Smith, February 10, 1916 - August 20, 2001) was an American stage, film and television actor. He was born in Fort Ward, Washington. Following a stint as a Broadway actor, Reed broke into films in 1941. He appeared in several features for RKO Radio Pictures, including the last two ''Mexican Spitfire'' comedies (in which Reed replaced Buddy Rogers as the Spitfire's husband). Perhaps his most memorable role was as the spineless wagon-driver husband of Gail Russell in the western ''Seven Men from Now''. Reed also appeared in the very first Superman theatrical feature film Superman and the Mole Men in 1951. In 1951 Reed made two serials for Republic Pictures; Reed strongly resembled former Republic leading man Ralph Byrd, enabling Republic to insert old action scenes of Byrd into the new Reed footage. Republic wanted to sign Reed for additional serials but Reed declined, preferring not to be typed as a serial star. After appearing in 90 films and numerous television programs, such as John Payne's ''The Restless Gun'', Reed changed careers and became a real- estate investor and broker in Santa Cruz, California in the late 1960s. ==Selected filmography== * ''Mexican Spitfire's Blessed Event'' (1943) * ''Petticoat Larceny'' (1943) * ''Bombardier'' (1943) * ''Return of the Bad Men'' (1948) * ''Angel on the Amazon'' (1948) * ''Western Heritage'' (1948) * ''The Lawless'' (1950) * ''Young Man with a Horn'' (1950) * ''Superman and the Mole Men'' (1951) * ''Flying Disc Man from Mars'' (1951, serial) * ''Government Agents vs. Phantom Legion'' (1951, serial) * ''Dangerous Mission'' (1954) * ''The Far Horizons'' (1955) * ''Seven Men from Now'' (1956) * ''The Horse Soldiers'' (1959) * ''Tora!
