RIP. I absolutely loved The Limey when it came out. Watched that DVD, including the director commentary several times. Kind of a stunner that he didn't get an Oscar nomination for that role.

Well, so much for that “Priscilla” sequel. I was really looking forward to that but given his age, knew it had to happen sooner than later. RIP.

I was thinking about him just a few weeks ago. Terrific actor with an instantly recognizable voice. Watched him in The Collector one late night back when TNT showed old movies before TCM existed. The Limey was a real tour de force performance. Fellini's segment Toby Dammit was another really fantastic performance, (be sure to see the English language version). He definitely had a good run and was always busy. Was great seeing him in Last Night in Soho a couple years back.

RIP
It was not one of his best works but he did a Ashton Kutcher comedy forgot the name of it.
Glad he made up for it years later in Last Night at Soho.

I wonder if a new Superman movie didn't happen to be out right now the headlines would say "Star Wars Star Dead" instead of "Superman Star Dead"?

R.I.P. to a great actor. Last Night In Soho was a wonderful swan song ...

Too many roles to pick, but General Zod was definitely one of his most memorable.
He also voiced Joe-El in Smallville
Any remember The Hunger? It was a late 90s horror anthology series that aired on Showtime. Stamp was the creepy host that introduced and summarized each story. It was a fun little series.

I, sadly, disagree. Stamp was great in Last Night In Soho, but the movie was trash.

The Hit (hugely underrated Stephen Frears film) and The Limey are two of my favourite existential crime movies ever. Of course there’s Zod, still the best Superman villain on screen. And who would’ve thought he could pull off Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? One of my favourite actors of all time. R.I.P.

Even if you hated everything else about it, the doubling and the mirror tricks used to swap out Thomasin McKenzie for Anya Taylor-Joy and vice versa were sublime. Movie magic of the highest order. Definitely not trash.Originally Posted by RocShemp

And since it hasn't been mentioned, The Hit rules.
Edit: I guess it had been mentioned. Still rules.

I know it bombed but one of his roles I always recall is in Red Planet.

Terrence also wrote books, mostly on his remembrances, "Rare Stamps: Reflections on Living, Breathing, and Acting" 2012, and "The Ocean Fell into the Drop" 2017, and cookbooks! RIP
