What a career. Most folks remember him in the fedora as Mike Hammer on CBS in the '80s, but he was one of the great Shakespeare actors of his generation, Hamlet, King Lear, Richard III.
Then there's Fat City, Frank James in The Long Riders opposite his own brother, Sgt. Stedenko in Up in Smoke, the hard-nosed dad in Titus, and the warden in Prison Break.
And that voice on American Greed. Born with a cleft lip, he spent years helping kids born with the same thing. Rest easy, Mr. Keach.

Stacy Keachといえば、やっぱ『Up in smoke』のあのド短ネクタイ刑事役、ｸｿ笑わせて貰ったがｗｗ安らかに眠れ。
