Throughout his six-decade career, Stamp — who was nominated for an Oscar for his film debut role in the 1962 film "Billy Budd" — made a name for himself with roles such as General Zod in "Superman" and "Superman II," Freddie Clegg in "The Collector," and Sergeant Troy in "Far From the Madding Crowd." "It wasn’t until we got our first TV — I would’ve been about 17 I think, and I was already at work — that I started saying things like, ‘Oh, I could do that,’" he told BFI. After starring opposite Christopher Reeve in the 1978 "Superman," work picked up for Stamp with roles in the 1984 film "The Hit," 1986’s "Legal Eagles," Oliver Stone’s 1987 "Wall Street," "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace," and more.
