Terence Stamp, notable for playing complex villains, has died at the age of 87. His death was announced through an online notice, eliciting tributes from fans and industry peers like Bafta and Bill Duke. Over a six-decade career, Stamp earned acclaim for roles including Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and General Zod in Superman. Stamp's career began with Billy Budd and he was part of the angry young men movement in British cinema, contributing to social realism in filmmaking.
Bill Duke expressed deep sadness over the loss of Terence Stamp, stating, "He brought a rare intensity to the screen, but off-screen he carried himself with warmth, grace, and generosity."
Stamp's portrayal of General Zod introduced a darker and more human element to the superhero genre, influencing countless films that followed.
