| STACY KEACH studied his craft at the University of California at Berkeley, the Yale School of Drama, and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, where he was a Fulbright Scholar. Keach has made quite an impression since his Broadway debut in 1969 as Buffalo Bill in Arthur Kopit’s Indians. The performance earned him his first major nod – a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Play. Many honors followed, including an Obie Award, the Vernon Rice Award, A Drama Desk and Saturday Review’s "Best Performance in a Comedy" for his title role performance in the Off-Broadway hit Macbird! For his portrayal of Jamie O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Keach won a second Obie, Vernon Rice Award and the New York Drama Desk Award. His third Obie and Vernon Rice Awards were granted for his portrayal of Hamlet at the New York Shakespeare Festival. Keach’s other stage appearances include O’Neill’s Hughie at Britain’s National Theatre, Idiot’s Delight at the Kennedy Center, Deathtrap on Broadway, the national company of Sleuth, the title roles in the national companies of the musicals Barnum and The King and I, King Arthur in Camelot, and Love Letters in San Francisco (in which he co-starred with Diana Rigg). Television audiences know Mr. Keach for his portrayals of the hard-boiled private-eye Mike Hammer, the intrepid Union Cavalry officer in the mini-series The Blue and the Grey, and Mistral in Mistral’s Daughter, as well as appearances in Princess Daisy, Intimate Strangers, Mission of the Shark and the title role in Hemingway (for which he received the Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination for Best Actor). His film appearances include The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Luther, The New Centurions, Fat City, The Long Riders (which he co-wrote and produced with his brother James), The Ninth Configuration, The Traveling Executioner, Class of 1999 and That Championship Season. |
