I’m curious as to your thoughts on the actor Stacy Keach, if you think he is daddy material?
I've been into him for the last 5 years or so. I'm surprised I have so little of him.
Tumblr media
Well… that's going to change.
On A Side Note: His brother James Keach isn't bad to look at either.

End of the Road (1970) - M. Emmet Walsh as Crab Man / Tutu Man
Seeing this remind me of how hair Walsh is. Plus, he has cute legs.
What? I think he does have cute legs.

The New Centurions (1972)
"You're just having a wonderful time. You like it! You like being a cop."
"Well, of course I like it! It doesn't mean I'm not working my ass off."
"I don't give a damn how hard you work, you like it, and I don't wanna spend the rest of my life being a cop's wife!"
"Then you'd better get married to somebody else."

Icebreaker (2000)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
If you adore Bruce Campbell, Icebreaker might have some appeal as a movie that’s so bad it’s good. This Die Hard clone feels like one bad call after another but to get to those unintentional laughs, you’ll have to stay awake during the agonizingly slow first half.
It’s the biggest ski vacation weekend of the year and ski patrol officer Matt Poster (Sean Astin) is about to have a very bad day. The night before, a plane carrying stolen nuclear materials crashed into Kilington mountain and the terrorists responsible have sent a team of professionals to retrieve the cargo from the crash site. With the F.B.I. hot on their trail, the terrorists descend on Killington mountain, taking everyone at the summit lodge hostage, including Matt’s girlfriend (Suzanne Turner) and parents. Away from the lodge to search for a lost skier, Matt makes a startling discovery… the plane. The terrorists are well armed and well trained but Matt knows the mountain like the back of his hand. Its high altitude action as Matt makes a dangerous choice... to take on the terrorists and free the hostages.
That summary I just provided you? It's the blurb on the back of the DVD cover. Typos and all. You know you’ve got something special when it's longer than the film’s Wikipedia entry. From that “preview”, you can deduce most, if not all of what's incoming. You’ll wish the film would get to it instead of wasting time setting up a needlessly complicated backstory for everyone involved but in the meantime there are a couple of chuckles to be had. Bruce Campbell as. the terrorist's leader is hamming it up but his performance is dwarfed by his “Canadian” goons, none of which sound anything like any Canadian I’ve ever met. I’d go back and double-check that I heard the dialogue correctly but my DVD doesn’t have subtitle options so I just won’t. It’d be a waste of my time, just like watching this movie was.
Sean Astin is trying, but he's ill-fitted for the role of an action movie star. He’s too cuddly and not the least bit intimidating, even when armed. The film seems to be aware of this, which is why it makes him into a completely ineffectual action hero. Count the bodies. At the end of the day, the comic-relief buffoon has more notches on his belt than the lead!
The cheapo production, combined with the many excessive shots of the ski resort where the film was shot often makes Icebreaker seem more like a commercial than a legitimate movie. The chemistry between the romantic leads is non-existent. The plot alternates between "clunky" and "laughable". The action scenes will have you rolling your eyes or picking your jaw off the floor (did they really expect us to buy that?). At the end of the day, it’s an utterly forgettable film. Pair it up with Die Hard on your "Good Movie, Good Bad Movie Night" and you’ll enjoy tearing this movie apart but there’s nothing here for anyone other than those who like bad movies. Even then, you could find "better" things to watch. (On DVD, February 7, 2020)

John Amos in the Locker Room
In Episode 2.9, the Lissons show their true colors by being shockingly abusive to Lyle's aging Dad, Roddy Lisson, played by the legendary John Amos.
Amos was everywhere on television in the 1970s and 1980s: the adult Kunta Kinte in Roots (1977), Gordy the Weatherman on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-77), longsuffering dad James Evans on Good Times (1974-79), sword-and-sorcery fighter Seth in Beastmaster (1982), plus guest shots on Sanford and Son, Maude, Police Story, Love Boat, The A-Team...you name it, he was in it.
On a 2010 episode of Two and a Half Men, he and Stacy Keach played an elderly gay couple, the parents of Charlie's estranged girlfriend. I'm not familiar with any other gay roles for John Amos, but he has always been an ally.
We used to go to the same gym in West Hollywood. We never became friends, but we developed a nodding acquaintance. And I saw him naked in the locker room once or twice.
There's a nude photo (not necessarily of John Amos, but close on Righteous Gemstones Beefcake and Boyfriends:

James Keach: Life and Career of a Renowned Actor and Director
Tumblr media
Renowned for his contributions to the entertainment industry, James Keach has made a name for himself as both an accomplished actor and director. His notable credits include the beloved TV series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, the thrilling film The Long Riders, and the endearing romantic comedy Blind Dating. If you are eager to delve deeper into the life and accomplishments of James Keach, this article is your gateway to discovering all there is to know about this remarkable individual.
Background and Age
With a birthdate of December 7, 1947, James Keach emerged into the world in the vibrant city of Savannah, Georgia. As of 2023, he is 75 years old. This versatile individual hails from a family of immense talent, as his siblings all ascended to become renowned celebrities. Notably, James Keach is the esteemed brother of Stacy Keach Jr. and is the proud son of the incomparable Stacy Keach Sr.
Educational Pursuits
Fueling his insatiable thirst for knowledge and his desire to sharpen his craft, James Keach pursued his education at Northwestern University. Embarking on a path of intellectual growth and artistic exploration, he advanced his studies at the distinguished Yale School of Drama, achieving a master’s degree. These academic experiences undoubtedly laid a solid foundation, shaping Keach’s creative outlook and providing him with the essential skills to thrive in the demanding world of entertainment.
A Journey into James Keach’s Acting and Directing Career
James Keach, the younger brother of Stacy Keach, began his journey in the entertainment industry as an actor, specializing in supporting and often antagonistic roles. However, he eventually transitioned to producing and directing for both television and film. Despite his tall stature and down-to-earth demeanor, he managed to leave a lasting impression in the industry.
Keach initially started his acting career on stage, showcasing his talent in various roles at the prestigious New York Shakespeare Festival. He then made his way to television, portraying Orville in a highly acclaimed PBS biography of the Wright Brothers in 1972. In 1975, he made his first appearance in a feature film, playing a minor role in “Sunburst.” He continued to excel in supporting roles in movies such as “Death Play” (1976), Alan J. Pakula’s “Comes a Horseman” (1978), and Jon Troell’s “Hurricane” (1979).
However, it was Walter Hill’s “The Long Riders” in 1980 that helped James Keach establish himself further. In this revisionist Western, he co-produced, co-wrote, and co-starred alongside his brother Stacy, portraying real-life outlaw brothers. Despite receiving excellent reviews, the film did not propel Keach’s career to new heights. Instead, he continued to take on supporting roles in various movies, including a motorcycle cop in Harold Ramis’ “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983) and Catherine Hicks’ husband in John Byrum’s remake of “The Razor’s Edge” (1984). He also delivered a memorable performance as a traffic officer in “Moving Violations” (1985), reminiscent of a Gestapo officer…Read More
