Bruce Reed

Bruce Reed was an American Actor born in Brooklyn New York. He married Irene Bobbin in 1964 and the two gave birth to two sons, Scott & Jason. Scott was born in September, 1965 and Jason was born in April, 1970. In 1971, Bruce landed a role on the soap opera "Somerset" and soon after was cast in the feature, "The Lords of Flatbush" (starring Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler). In 1976, he moved the family to Beverly Hills, CA where he continued building his career in the entertainment industry and put his two sons through school. In 1990, Bruce suffered a massive heart attack and as the longest waiting inpatient at Cedars Sinai, he underwent heart transplant surgery in 1992. For seven years following the heart transplant, Bruce spent all of his time with family and friends, doing and saying the things most of us wish we had done, but after the fact. With Bruce, nothing was left unsaid and his children will carry on his name and legacy for generations to come. A true hero to those around him, Bruce never left without a big hug and a sloppy kiss and never hung up the phone without saying I LOVE YOU to whoever was on the other end ...and he meant it.
