|---|---|
| 1 | [in a 1983 interview] I never really had a chance to play a romantic leading man until "The Blue and the Grey" came along. I never got the girl, ever - ever! I mean that was the first time. It's ironic. I said to myself the other day, my career has been in reverse. I started out playing old men, heavy and all. I feel like I've been getting younger! It's very bizarre! |
| 2 | [in a 1983 interview] I think that if an actor hangs in there long enough and has successful - remotely successful - movies, he can survive a lot of bad movies. That's one thing I can certainly lay claim to! That I've survived a lot of bad movies - good pictures that didn't make it. |
| 3 | [in a 1983 interview] Hopefully I'll be able to play more roles that are heroic and funny and witty and charming! I really feel like I've paid my dues with the down-and-outers! |
| 4 | [on being nominated for or winning an award] To a certain degree, it does boost your ego. But I've never really felt that awards are a measure of success, even though Hollywood disagrees with me. If you're selling a film and you're an Oscar nominee or a winner, the people selling that film will let everyone know. For me, the measure of success is the work itself and how it touches your soul. |
| 5 | It's very dangerous to make a judgmental evaluation about a character. You have to look at each character and find something good about them. A good bad guy is one that you love to hate, and that's really the measure of good work. When you're playing a drunk you don't play a drunk; you play a sober guy. |
| 6 | Historical and contemporary roles both have their virtues. What I like the most about historical roles is doing the research behind the character and the period in which they exist. I love imagining what it must have been like to be in the room with someone like a Buffalo Bill Cody or a P.T. Barnum when they were alive. The advantage of a fictional role is that it frees you of the responsibilities of being historically accurate. You can take more liberties. |
| 7 | It's always frustrating when you're pigeonholed. But it's an occupational hazard and it happens to every actor. It's just the nature of the beast. It's not easy to accept it, but you sort of have to accept it. |
| 8 | [on John Huston] John Huston, the director, is a genius and like a lot of geniuses he can be erratic. But his perception, charm, and warmth are so extraordinary that you want to give the best of you. He has an incredible curiosity about life. While cutting one movie he starts working on another. I think he enjoys the process of work more than the results. |
| 9 | A facial birth defect doesn't get in the way of achievement. Parents need to instill a positive sense of self-esteem in their children so they can pursue their dreams. |
| 10 | The fundamental virtue of success is that it allows you to know the true significance of what it means to have the freedom to make your dreams come true. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | As of 1983 he had won three Obies for his work in "Long Day's Jourbey into Night," "Macbird," and a 1972 revival of "Hamlet.". |
| 2 | Won a Tony nomination for his Broadway debut as Buffalo Bill in Arthur Kopit's "Indians" in 1969. |
| 3 | Ironically, Stacy Keach - who was fired by Mike Nichols and replaced by Martin Balsam in the role of Colonel Cathcart in the movie Catch-22 (1970) - also was replaced in another Joseph Heller work, the play "We Bombed in New Haven", which started out as a dramatization of "Catch-22". Keach, who originated the role of Captain Starkey in the play at the Yale Repertory Theatre, was replaced by Jason Robards when it transitioned to Broadway. |
| 4 | Was cast as Ken Titus on Titus (2000) when, after his audition, Christopher Titus admitted that Keach intimidated him. |
| 5 | Served his prison sentence at England's Reading Gaol. |
| 6 | Client of Dick Guttman. |
| 7 | Hospitalized in a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a minor stroke on March 17, 2009. |
| 8 | When he played Ken Titus on the sitcom Titus (2000), he would sometimes receive tips from the actual Ken Titus (before he passed away), on how to portray him better. |
| 9 | Credits the sitcom Titus (2000) for somewhat rejuvenating his career and making him more recognizable to younger audiences. |
| 10 | Is often referred to as "The American Olivier". |
| 11 | Under the then-extant rules, Keach should have been awarded Best Actor honors from the New York Film Critics Circle for his portrayal of Tully in Fat City (1972), as it required only a plurality of the vote and Keach was the top vote-getter in the category. At the time, the NYCC was second in prestige only to the Academy Awards (and some actors and filmmakers considered it a superior honor) and was a major influence on subsequent Oscar nominations. (In the 1976 presidential election year, director Robert Altman characterized the NYFCC Awards as the 'New York primary' leading up to the Oscar 'election,' where the Golden Globes was the 'California primary.') A vocal faction of the NYFCC, dismayed by the rather low percentage of votes that would have given Keach the award, successfully demanded a rule change so that the winner would have to obtain a majority. In subsequent balloting, Keach failed to win a majority of the vote, and he lost ground to his main rival, Marlon Brando in The Godfather (1972). However, Brando could not gain a majority either, and a compromise candidate, Laurence Olivier in Sleuth (1972), eventually was awarded Best Actor honors. Both Brando, who eventually won the Oscar for his come-back triumph as Don Corleone in the classic gangster picture, and Olivier were nominated for the Academy Award, but Keach was not. |
| 12 | Was born with a cleft palate. He had it repaired and the scar is on his lip under the right nostril. He hides the scar with his trademark mustache. |
| 13 | Was nominated for Broadway's 1970 Tony Award as Best Actor (Dramatic) for playing William F. Cody, aka Buffalo Bill, in Arthur Kopit's "Indians." |
| 14 | Along with Louis Gossett Jr., he was one of two actors considered for the role of the SGC's new commanding officer, General Hank Landry, on Stargate SG-1 (1997). The role instead went to Beau Bridges. |
| 15 | Former Fulbright scholar. |
| 16 | Provided the narration for the Submarine ride at Disneyland (in Anaheim, California) - but the ride no longer exists. |
| 17 | Brother-in-law of actress Jane Seymour |
| 18 | Children: son - Shannon, daughter - Karolina. |
| 19 | Stacy Keach graduated from Van Nuys High School in June, 1959. |
| 20 | Performed the role of the King of Siam in a touring rendition of "The King and I". |
| 21 | He won an Obie in 1967 for his performance in the title role of "MacBird!". |
| 22 | Acted in a number of plays at the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, DC. |
| 23 | Studied drama at the University of California - Berkeley, Yale, and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. |
| 24 | Stacy's father started as a community college drama teacher. He then became the director of the Pasadena Playhouse. His mother was Mary Kain Keach. |
| 25 | Son of Stacy Keach Sr., older brother of James Keach. |
| 26 | Born at 7:15pm-EDT. |
| 27 | In 1984 he was jailed in England for nine months for smuggling cocaine. He would later base his performance of the fair-minded Warden Henry Pope in Prison Break (2005) on the warden of that prison. |
