You mentioned Proximo, played by the late, great Oliver Reed. He was a well-known hellraiser and very talented actor that came to the fore in the 1960s. Known for his smouldering performances he could be menacing. On chat shows he could be unpredictable and outrageous. He sadly died during filming of 'Gladiator' so some of his scences needed to be completed using ready-shot footage + special effects.
