In 1956, he began working in film and with DEFA in the former German Democratic Republic. He moved to West Germany in 1959, where he played the title role in a television film, Raskolhikoff alongside Paul Verhoeven, Uwe Friedrichsen and Ernst Fritz Fürbringer. The film was based on the novel Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

In 1962, he played in Jeder stirbt für sich allein, Falk Harnack's 1962 television film adaptation of the novel [Every Man Dies Alone] by Hans Fallada, appearing with Edith Schultze-Westrum, Alfred Schieske and Wolfgang Kieling.

In 1965, he played alongside Karin Dor and Harald Leipnitz in a crime film by Edgar Wallace, Der unheimliche Mönch. In 1968, he played Georges Picquart in a television film version of the Dreyfus Affair on German broadcaster ZDF.[1]

In addition to his film and television roles, Reck worked as a voice actor in the German film dubbing industry, dubbing the voices of numerous English-speaking actors into German, including Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Peter Graves, Patrick Stewart, Franco Nero, Terence Hill and others.[2]
