One of America's most acknowledged Shakespearean actors and advocate for substance abuse awareness
Stacy Keach is one of America's most acknowledged Shakespearean actors, called "the finest American classical actor since John Barrymore" by "The New York Times." Keach has proved his versatility as an actor and his appeal to a wide range of audiences in his most recent role on the FOX sitcom "Titus," where he played an imposing father. Keach studied drama at the University of California at Berkeley, Yale Drama School, and was a Fulbright Scholar at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. His classical performances include starring roles not only on the New York and London Stage, but also at the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, DC. He came to prominence on stage in the 1960s, and entered films in 1968 with a solid supporting role in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." In the early 1970s, he appeared in many counterculture-driven films, such as "End of the Road," "Brewster McCloud" and "Doc." He stretched his acting skills in "The New Centurions," "Luther," "The Killer Inside Me," "The Traveling Executioner," "American History X," and two Cheech & Chong movies, "Up in Smoke" and "Nice Dreams." He also won a Golden Globe for his mini-series portrayal of Ernest Hemingway. In addition to the Best Actor Golden Globe award, Keach has also been nominated for Emmy and Tony awards and has won three Obies, three Vernon Rice awards, the Helen Hayes award, and the prestigious Millennium Recognition Award for his outstanding contribution to the classical theatre. Keach also appears on television as the host of The Mystery Channel and a frequent narrator for Nova, National Geographic, The World's Most Amazing Videos and the Discovery Channel. An advocate for substance abuse awareness, Keach shares his personal experience with audiences across the country.
