The late actor Terence Stamp was no stranger to Hollywood North.

Over the course of his long career, the London-born actor appeared in many made-in-Vancouver movies.

Stamp, who died Aug. 17 at age 87, first came to fame as part of the Swinging London scene in the 1960s, appearing in films such as the Academy Award-nominated 1961 flick Billy Budd and 1967’s Far From the Madding Crowd.

He would enjoy a later career comeback playing arch-villain General Zod in 1978’s Superman and 1980’s Superman II, which led to his BAFTA-winning turn as an aging drag queen in the Australian Outback in 1994’s The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Other acclaimed roles included his fearsome father on a revenge mission in director Steven Soderbugh’s 1999 film The Limey.
