Terence Stamp, the British actor who often played the role of a complex villain, including that of General Zod in the early Superman films, has died. He was 87.

Terence Stamp, the talented actor in movies that include Superman with his iconic General Zod role, died on Sunday at the age of 87. The British actor was also in some other huge movies, from Billy Budd to Far from the Madding Crowd to Wall Street, and Star Wars fans will of course recognize him from The Phantom Menace.

For his performance in William Wyler’s 1965 film “The Collector,” in which he played an odd, repressed young man who kidnaps a beautiful woman, played by Samantha Eggar, with whom he becomes obsessed, Stamp won the best actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
