This site obviously was aware of Stamp first and foremost from the first two 1970's Superman films wherein he played General Zod, Superman's foe and the would-be conqueror of first Krypton and then Earth.
He was, of course, accomplished and popular In England well before those films. With smoldering good looks and a natural talent, he was in with a wave of British talent that crossed over the pond and back again over the decades.
If you want to see a phenomenal movie, check out The Limey. But he was in everything, from comedies like Bowfinger and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to to actioners like Young Guns.
Raise a glass, and, for today, it's okay to kneel for Zod.
I'm very sorry to see him go, but he left a rich legacy.
