Biography

Terence Stamp was an English actor whose career mixed cult films and mainstream successes, often as sophisticated villains. Born in Stepney, London, he trained at London's Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and worked in West End and repertory theater before his American film debut in Billy Budd (1962), which won him a Golden Globe and brought Academy Award and BAFTA nominations. He received the Cannes Film Festival's Best Actor prize for The Collector (1965) and appeared in Modesty Blaise (1966), Poor Cow (1967), Far from the Madding Crowd (1967), and Spirits of the Dead (1968). His role as General Zod in Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980) made him widely known. Later credits included The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), which earned him BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations, The Limey (1999), Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), Wanted (2008), Valkyrie (2008), The Adjustment Bureau (2011), and Big Eyes (2014).
