STACY
KEACH (Richard Nixon). John Huston once said of Stacy Keach
that "Stacy is not a star. He is a constellation. The audience will come
to see whatever character he portrays." Keach, who has excelled in many of
the classic and contemporary stage's greatest roles, has been called one
of America's pre-eminent interpreters of Shakespeare. Mr. Keach began his
professional career with the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1964. He
received the first of his three Obie Awards for his work in the
off-Broadway political satire, MacBird. Broadway credits include
Indians (Tony Award nomination); Deathtrap; the Pulitzer
Prize-winning Kentucky Cycle (Helen Hayes award for Best Actor) and
Solitary Confinement. One of the most versatile stars of film,
television and stage, Keach next appears in Oliver Stone's cinematic
portrait of George W. Bush, W. He has appeared in numerous films,
including: The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter, The New Centurions, Doc, Fat
City, The Longriders, Up in Smoke, Nice Dreams, The Ninth Configuration,
Escape from L.A., Honeydripper and American History X. He is
celebrated worldwide for his hit series as hard-boiled detective, Mike
Hammer, as the irascible, hilarious Dad on Fox's comic sitcom,
Titus and as the warden on Prison Break. He won a Golden Globe
award and an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of Ernest Hemingway.
Following his triumphant recent title role performance in King Lear
for the prestigious Goodman Theatre in Chicago, directed by Robert
Falls (which he will reprise in June 2009 at Washington D.C.'s new
Shakespeare Harmon Center), Keach has recently starred in such films as
Rob Nilsson's Imbued (for which he also composed the music) Ring
of Death, The Boxer, The Assistant and Meteor.
