Stacy Keach, Sr. was the stage name of Walter Stacy Keach (May 29, 1914 – February 13, 2003), an American actor whose screen career spanned six decades. He may be best known for his role as Carlson in the television show "Get Smart". He was born in Chicago, Illinois. Keach's career ranged from 1942 to 1997, with more than seventy movie and television appearances.

Another son, James Keach, is also an actor as well as director and producer; he is married to actress Jane Seymour.
