British actor Terence Stamp, ‘Superman’ star and famed figure of swinging London, dies at 87​

Terence Stamp, the British actor who became synonymous with Swinging London in the 1960s, has died, his family said Sunday, according to Reuters. He was 87 years old.

Stamp first came to prominence when he took on the titular role in the 1962 film “Billy Budd.” The black and white drama, directed by Peter Ustinov, who also starred, saw Stamp nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor - the only Oscar nomination of his lengthy career.

Rest In Peace General Zod!

Rest in peace, Mr. Stamp, and condolences to his family and friends.

I loved his work in Pasolini’s Teorema, and much later in The Limey.

I remember him from multiple roles, including "Young Guns." Surprised he didn't take a role in "Game of Thrones."

RIP Terence. I still remember how courageous he was to play Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. And he was great as General Zod. I couldn't believe he was 87. He seemed ageless.

Sad news. I liked Stamp as an actor and will always remember him fondly for his roles in Wall Street, Young Guns, and The Limey.
