British actor Terence Stamp, who famously played arch-villain General Zod in “Superman” and “Superman II,” has died at the age of 87, his family said.
The Oscar-nominated actor died on Sunday morning, his family told Reuters in a statement. His death was also disclosed in a death notice published online. The cause was not immediately known.
“He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come,” the statement to Reuters said. “We ask for privacy at this sad time.”
Stamp was born in London’s East End in 1938 to Ethel Esther and Thomas Stamp, a tugboat stoker. After enduring the bombing of London during World War II, Stamp left school to work in advertising before winning a scholarship for drama school, Reuters reported.
