Its amazing that this actor is part of an old generation of actors. Yet because of the popularity of the contemporary comic book films he has endured the test of time.
***** Hahahaha, I read this before I watched it and was thinking what the hell, this isn't about Star Wars, but then about 3 minutes in, I realized it. Wow, what a heavy breather.
Tremendous actor. Very compelling aura about him, and underrated, as well. Of his many memorable roles, he was great in Wall Street (Sir Lawrence Wildman). Great presence.
Love his presence in films..the few that have occurred in the 2000's and 2010's, etc. Great presence, great power. When he's on the screen, he's the only thing there. Maybe other stars don't want him to be there with him, he's that good.
Hard to stay with this clip for the duration due to the mouth breathing. But it was worth it to hear Terence Stam'p's stories. Stamp was a great screen presence and lifted everything he did. It is a pity that things "stopped" for him in the late 1960s as he says here, apart the the occasional thing he did. It would have been great to see him in more. Nowadays, when so many Brits are hired to play in US productions he would have done so many interesting things.
One of the more attractive older men I have ever seen, and so very brilliant. I watched The Collector when I was in college, read the book and was studying behavioral disorders. I never got over his performance; amazing.
Watching this and expecting Stamp to be completely serious without shifting, two things struck me. Stamp's piercing blue eyes, and what a good sense of humour the man has.
in my mind, you can't equate Dean with Brando. Obviously hard to say what Dean would have gone on to do, but hard to see him having the range that Brando had.
Every classic movie for all times needs great actors and Superman was no exception Brando,Christopher and Terence what a combination it doesn't get better than this.I was 14 when I saw it in the theater and it mark me for life.Who would pay attention to the stupid noises when a great actor is talking.
I've had a revolving "10 favorite actors" list all my life (47 years old), Terence Stamp has ALWAYS been on that list. Just amazing. Couldn't make out the other comment(s)... then I followed what was going on. Mouth breathing, smoke detectors? Darth Vader etc. I would like to thank the person that posted this. Regardless of all the nit-picky comments.
dekubaner I was looking all over my fucking apartment trying to find what was beeping! Was it my smoke alarm..?? Only after reading this did the ugly truth come out.
I saw Terence on the bus in central London about 10 years ago. Wanting to be anonymous and not initiate a conversation, he just kept a blank expression. I just nodded at him. I didn't ask him if he was miffed that Lester used the most scenery-chewing Zod takes.
I'm watching this with head phones on, and I keep hearing a noise that makes me think my smoke alarm is going off. I realize the sound is on the video!
From "Valkyrie", after Tom Cruise' character delivers his line ("....and if all goes according to plan, Hitler will be dead and gone"), Terence Stamp, as a wilder, older co-conspirator German general says, "Remember, this is a MILITARY operation. NOTHING ever goes according to plan!". That line has always stayed with me and his choice of how to deliver it ---- world weary, knowing yet not pedantically, practically amused by the ironic reality of ii ---- is burned in my mind. Like a coach's advice. Keeps me grounded when my plans at work don't necessarily hit on all cylinders.
Stamp is so cool, and charming. I'd love to go out drinking with him and hear his stories all night. And you whiners complaining about the beeping sound; is your concentration that lousy?
Cara Dion agreed 100%... especially at this time in his life. I am a male homosexual btw and I only admit this because this guy is perfection in every way. It is so rare that we have actors (or even just people in general) that have this quality to them. He is like a poet in a way how he tells his story. This is my ideal man I would love to have with me rather than being with the more effeminate homosexual types that are so abundant in today’s society. I want a real man like him. 🧡
He always has been. He was blonde haired in some movies may have been dark blonde natural color, that got good sun. But yes. He always was a real stunner and still is !
No,on the contrary. I ran into him o'side a health food store here in Auckland, New Zealand and he'd just turned 70 (4 yrs ago). He looked in disgustingly good nick and still really handsome. I was aghast at how good he looked-lucky bastard. Friendly chap too. :)
He was not greedy at all. In fact, he was rather generous with his money for the causes he believed. He donated a great deal of money and his time on American Indians. Also, according to what I read, on records, he was always generous with people or friends in need.
I'm so fascinated by the noises of the videographer and his environment, what was uttered at the end and why as the video abruptly stopped? "Claude don't lie!"?
I think Stamp understood that the first two movies required a really good villain and he along with Sarah Douglas and Jack O Halloran delivered in spades.
wow the camera work in this video presentation is amazing! LOVE the layer of heavy breathing and high tone added to the audio as well! nice work youtuber!
I join with others below re the attractiveness of Mr. Stamp! I don't understand why I haven't seen him more! Seems like a humble guy, too! To the dude who recorded and posted this, if you can, PLEASE edit out your effing breathing and repost!
What made Terrance Stamp do that intersting weird movie about dancing weird movements? I forgot teh name of the movie but found some of the music very soothing.
Was in starbucks on The Strand ,London in 2004.There ahead of me was Terrance Stamp waiting for a coffee being bothered by a American woman.Rather short chap,in a smart suit no tie,his hair puffed up as to gain some illusion vertical high ,he was poilte to the barrage of questions for the sherman tank tart.Said he had just returned from australia,to the sherman .With his coffee he sat opposite back to the wall studying everyone.I finished my Americano and left.
Clift was EXCELLENT. Brando was a fan, and competitor. The dilemma was that pre-car accident, Clift turned down potentially popular film roles to control his autonomy. He refused to sign a contract with any studio so he could choose projects that interested him. He also had ‘Method’ specificities about the characters he portrayed that would rankle directors(like Hitchcock). Post-accident, his ‘Matinee Idol’ status and A-list roles evaporated as his looks changed significantly due to the plastic surgery he underwent. His chronic pain, addiction to alcohol and painkillers, and increased unreliability created an insurance risk he was unable to mitigate up until he tragically died of a heart attack on July 23, 1966 at just 45 years old.
Terrence did alot of Foreign Work. And the "Limey " was really a pleasant surprise. I remember when they (Hollywood) tried to put him over as a James Dean Type. Very hard to find film ,called "Blue". And "charge of the light Brigade" (English) but his big sucess was with Fellini.
I love Terence in Frear's "The Hit" (1984) opposite a teriffic John Hurt and a young edgy Tim Roth as Myron. Besides "Mona Lisa" my favourite British crime film resp. neo-noir of the Eighties. Check them out folks if you haven't already.
