Stacy Keach died “after a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure” according to his wife.
He had a good, long run as an actor. I really liked how he played his roles. Who didn’t laugh at Sgt Stedenko?
I was listening to tunes out in the desert tonight and Fiberweed Van Theme came on. Always good for a smile.
Completely lost due to incompetence…
I enjoyed him in The Ninth Configuration.
I rather liked him in a very restrained role as Frank James in The Long Riders. Which was a wee bit different than another of his character roles in a Western. The comedic psycho albino gunman Bad Bob in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.
Yes indeed. That’s what I came here to say but you beat me to it.
(Damn, I loved that movie. It pains me that it is not better known and admired.)
Honestly, I thought he was dead already.
Now I always associate him with his fake ads for couches and Bazooka Joe gum from “30 Rock”.
And gum.
I was surprised to see him on a segment of Body Bags not too long ago. I tuned in after it started and thought it was a Creepshow episode. It was about a man, distressed about going bald, who finds a . . .solution. He was hilarious in it, especially to I who had never seen him do comedy. Debbi Harry and Sheena Easton were also in it.
RIP, sir, and thank you for all the good work.
RIP
Great actor - one of the best performances I’ve ever seen was in “Fat City” (also a favorite movie of mine). On YouTube, there’s also a free version of “The New Centurions” with Keach and George C. Scott - best movie about cops/
In terms of an original Sci-fi premise, there is none better. And Hamlet performed entirely with dogs!
I liked his complex character on the sitcom Titus.
I’ve been watching the “Best of Ken Titus” compilation videos on YouTube. What an evil, hilarious man!
