Many are mourning the death of legendary actor Terence Stamp, whose death was announced yesterday. Following his passing, several of his peers from the world of acting have taken to paying tribute to the late talent. 

Cutting his teeth on stage plays in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Stamp made the jump to motion pictures when he starred in the titular role in 1962’s Billy Budd. After getting an Oscar nomination for his work, Stamp would go on to star in a massive range of other projects. From Wall Street to Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, to even Superman II as the fearsome General Zod, Stamp has lent himself to countless projects over his many years of acting. 

In Priscilla, Stamp starred alongside Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving, with the trio taking the top billing spots for the film. Hollywood Reporter noted that Pearce made a post on X about Stamp’s passing. 

“Fairwell dear Tel. You were a true inspiration, both in & out of heels. We’ll always have Kings Canyon, Kings road & F’ing ABBA,” he said. Hollywood Reporter also collected a slew of posts sharing a tribute to Stamp. 

On X, writer Matthew Todd decided to speak to the range that Stamp had as an actor. He remarked about how Stamp’s performance as Zod scared him as a child, but then wound up loving his character in Priscilla. 

“Absolutely gutted for his friends and colleagues for what would have been the sequel to Priscilla, which sounded absolutely fantastic,” he went on to say.
