Bill Reed is a stuntman who worked on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Lucasfilm's 1988 film Willow.
Reed portrayed the gong striker in Temple of Doom, as further confirmed in The Complete Making of Indiana Jones, but the article "50 Fascinating 'Facts' About Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in Indiana Jones: The Official Magazine 3, falsely claimed that Pat Roach played the gong striker and the assassin at Pankot Palace in addition to his credited role as Chief Guard. It has also been previously incorrectly speculated that the late wrestler Don Stansauk (a.k.a. Hard Boiled Haggerty) played the gong striker. Frank Marshall (although admitting that he recognizes Stansauk's name) however confirms, along with Kathleen Kennedy, that the gong striker was not Roach.
