Stacy Keach dies at 85
Stacy Keach, the prolific actor famous for his role as private investigator Mike Hammer, has died. He was 85.
Local radio only mentioned his Cheech & Chong role
He also played Papa Titus on the brilliant show "Titus." The show was cancelled by the idiotic Gail Berman who wanted it to be a sitcom and got mad at show creator, Christopher Titus, when he called her out on not knowing what she was doing. If you haven't seen it, you should really see it.
Great, underrated actor. RIP. Always remember his evil character in American History X.
Theater and screen actor Stacy Keach has died. He played PI Mike Hammer in TV shows and movies, with other credits in "Fat City" and "Titus."
My condolence to his family and friends.
And a personal favorite showing his comedic chops Sergeant Stedenko in Up in Smoke. Stacy Keach’s portrayal of Stedenko remains one of the film’s most memorable supporting performances due to his exaggerated seriousness contrasted with the chaotic antics of the Cheech and Chong.
RIP actor Stacy Keach, who did great work, including the best boxing film ever made (Fat City, 1972) and one of the finest lost British crime films (The Squeeze, 1977). (He also did time in Reading prison after smuggling drugs into the UK. A wild life.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohqf...
Such a great villain, I first remember him from Class of 1999
And also in his fine filmography... total commitment to his roles in Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke and Nice Dreams.
He's great in The Squeeze, but good lord is it a dark, grimy film. Lordy.
