Biography

Stacy Keach (Savannah (Georgia), 2 juni 1941 – Magdalenka, 10 november 2026) was een Amerikaanse acteur. Hij stond bekend om het spelen van dramatische rollen en ook hielp hij bij educatieve programma's van PBS en Discovery Channel.

Vroeger noemde hij zich Stacy Keach Jr. om zich te onderscheiden van zijn vader Stacy Keach Sr. (1914-2003), die ook acteur was. Zijn jongere broer James Keach regisseerde enkele televisieseries. Stacy is drie keer getrouwd geweest: met Marilyn Aiken in 1975, met Jill Donahue in 1981 en met Malgosia Tomassi in 1986. Hij had vier dochters: twee uit zijn tweede huwelijk en twee uit zijn derde.

Carrière

Keach verscheen het eerst op Broadway als Buffalo Bill in Indians door Arthur Kopit. Het stuk won vele prijzen, waaronder enkele Obie Awards, Drama Desk Awards en Vernon Rice Awards. Ook speelde hij Mike Hammer in de televisieserie Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, Private Eye van CBS. Een van zijn meest controversiële rollen was die van Cameron Alexander in American History X met Edward Norton en Edward Furlong.

Ook hielp hij mee met programma's van National Geographic en speelde hij de rol van Ken Titus in Titus. Hij werd vooral bekend als directeur Henry Pope van de gevangenis Fox River in het eerste seizoen van Prison Break. Keach heeft vaker een gevangenisdirecteur gespeeld in films en televisieseries. Hij moest ooit zelf enkele maanden in een Britse gevangenis doorbrengen omdat hij cocaïne had gesmokkeld.

Keach overleed op 10 november 2026 op 85-jarige leeftijd.
