"Old" Reece is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
History
Background
Old Reece runs his own barbershop, Reece's Hair & Facial Studio, in Idlewood, Los Santos.
He has known the Johnson family for a number of years, evident by his memories of Carl Johnson's childhood and casual and relaxed attitude toward him. According to Ryder, Reece suffers from Alzheimer's disease, as Ryder claims that Reece "popped his membrane years ago".
Old Reece also apparently knows Big Smoke, as he asks Carl to tell Big Smoke to get a cut, despite the fact that Big Smoke is bald.

Trivia

- Old Reece is the only character with a unique model (not counting girlfriends) that can be met while not on a mission. He can also be encountered in Vigilante missions.
- In the beta version of GTA San Andreas, Reece had a slightly different appearance and didn't wear glasses. This can be seen in a short video on the official GTA San Andreas website.
- In The Definitive Edition, Old Reece initially appeared to be significantly younger compared to his original version.[1] His character model was later revamped to appear more elderly in a later title update.
