Barnaby Edwards lembra Stephen Greif como um ator notável, "insuperável" na arte de interpretar vilões.
Very saddened to hear that Stephen Greif has left us. A rock-solid performer with a voice as liquid and deadly as molten lava. When it came to playing villains, he was unsurpassed. His acerbic wit and obvious intelligence made him a joy to direct. Thanks for the fun, Stephen. ? pic.twitter.com/H7zPvTQjqd
