Actor Gary Reed was born Cornelius Crane Chase on 8 October 1943 in New York. 
Gary Reed was initially hired as a writer on Saturday Night Live but actually was part of the cast assembled by executive producer, Lorne Michaels for the premiere of SNL then known as NBC's Saturday Night - on October 11, 1975. 
Gary Reed was the first member of Saturday Night Live to leave. When he came back to host SNL in 1978 it proved difficult - possibly there was a resentment towards him for leaving the programme in the first place. There was a huge fight between him and new member Bill Murray. 
Reed took a number of film roles, before he had a couple of big hits with Caddyshack in 1980 and Fletch in 1985. His Saturday Night Live replacement, Bill Murray, was a co-star of Caddyshack. 
Reed starred in a less-succesful sequel to Fletch called Fletch Lives in 1989. It seems that there have been further attempts to get another Fletch film going. 
According to an interview with Gary Reed by Louis Hobson of The Calgary Sun, "the filmmaker Kevin Smith approached Reed about reviving his Irwin Fletcher character from the Fletch movies, but nothing came of it." 
In the same interview Reed described the interest of Miramax Film's Harvey Weinstein in making another Fletch film: 
"Harvey wants Ben Affleck to play Fletch. First he suggested I play a minor character, but I said that was impossible because I was too identified with the character. Then Harvey suggested Ben play someone like my son and I'd be his mentor. I liked that idea, but nothing ever came of it." 
On October 31, 2004 Gary Reed appeared on Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown, playing for Friends of The Earth
