“His passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in our lives. But his extraordinary spirit, his unforgettable voice and the love he gave so generously will remain with us forever.

Active on stage, film and TV into his eighties, he popped up in “ The Bourne Legacy ,” “Nebraska,” “Two and a Half Men” and had a recurring voice role on “The Simpsons.” Keach was also known for playing Cardinal Kevin Kearns on “Blue Bloods.” His TV appearances included “Man With a Plan” and “The Black List.” His final role was in “Jay Kelly” in 2015, as the father of Jay Kelly, played by George Clooney. In 2010, he received a Helen Hayes award for his performance of “King Lear,” for Shakespeare Theater Co., one of many stage honors over the course of his career.

Keach got his Tony nomination for playing Buffalo Bill in the 1969 Broadway production “Indians” early on but garnered even more fame as “Mike Hammer.” The CBS series aired from 1984-87 and he reprised the role in the 1989 TV movie “Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All” and the syndicated series “Mike Hammer, Private Eye” in 1997-98. Keach’s run as the private detective got off to a rocky start off screen, however.

In 1984, police arrested Keach at London’s Heathrow Airport for possession of cocaine. Pleading guilty, the actor served six months at Reading Prison.

Since Keach also narrated “Mike Hammer” in character, impressionist Rich Little was called to sub in as the show’s narrator during Keach’s imprisonment. In a 2014 television interview, Keach declared that his time in prison was (understandably) the low point of his life, and a friendship he formed with a priest during that time led to his conversion to Roman Catholicism.

Keach’s Emmy nomination came shortly after that period; he was recognized in 1988 for outstanding lead actor in a miniseries or special for playing the famous author of the title in “Ernest Hemingway.” Part of an acting family that includes his younger brother James, who has gone on to direct and produce, Walter Stacy Keach Jr. was born in Savannah, Ga., the son of actress Mary Cain and Stacy Keach Sr., an actor, drama teacher and theater director.

Class president at Van Nuys High School, he graduated from UC Berkeley in 1963, and went on to earn a graduate degree at the Yale School
