Stacy Keach, the Voice of American Greed, Dies at 85. He Called His Narrator an Avenging Angel
Stacy Keach, the stage and screen actor whose voice carried CNBC's American Greed from its first episode, has died at 85. His wife says he died at the family home in Magdalenka, Poland, after a long battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure. For a generation of viewers he was Mike Hammer. For anyone who works behind a microphone, he was also one of the busiest narrators on American television.
His wife, Malgosia Tomassi Keach, announced his death in a statement reported on Tuesday, 10 November. "Stacy was not only a legendary actor, admired and loved by audiences the world over," she said, "but also my beloved husband, my companion and the heart of our family." She called him "a true warrior, facing his illness with the same remarkable spirit and resilience that defined his life."
The obituaries lead with Mike Hammer, Fat City and Blue Bloods. Read a little further and the voice keeps turning up. The TV Cave, writing about his years on American Greed, put it neatly: "his distinctive voice was practically a character of its own."
