I lobed old Stampy, he wasn't your everyday actor, he did some good stuff and some dross but I saw him interviewed a few times and he was a great laugh, he liked to have fun. he will be more remmebered for the rubbish that was Superman ahead of some top quality work.
He won't be alone. Judi Dench, M in Bond films, Ian McKellen will be Gandalf, there are others who have done some great stuff but will be known forever for possibly their worst work. |  | |  |

The Grandaddy of them all. Alec Guinness.
Bit harsh on McKellen though. the LOTR trilogy remains a fabulous piece of work and a cultural touchstone 25 years later. |  |

Damn. The Superman II highlight for 12 YO me was Ursa, but he was a badass. And the best thing about Young Guns. |  |

When Alec Guinness was offered Star Wars he said he would do it for a percentage instead
of a wage. As no one expected much from the film so they agreed.
He made an absolute fortune. |  | | |

Ultimately he (and his estate) have earned something like $100m from Star Wars. Probably more than almost everyone else bar George Lucas himself.
Good going. | |

When he made " Bridge on the River Kwai" ,the producers wanted an American actor to give the film more global appeal so they approached William Holden.
Same thing. Holden asked for a percentage instead of a wage. Guinness won an Oscar and Holden got all the money. He learned a lesson.
Holden was offered "The Guns of Navarone" and he tried it again but was told to sod off.
Gregory Peck got the part. | | | |
