Director John Huston once said of him, "He is not just a star, he is a constellation. The audience will come to see whatever character he portrays."
Stacy began his professional film career in the 1968 with The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and has since played a wide variety of characters in over fifty films. In 1972, Stacy was proud to have worked with legendary actor/director John Huston. Huston directed Fat City and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. Stacy also acted with Huston and Henry Fonda in The Greatest Battle.

Who are your favorite directors?

It's tough to say, because I've had the privilege of working with many fine directors. Aside from John Huston, I guess I would have to say Franco Zefferelli (Jesus of Nazareth) and Robert Altman (Brewster McCloud). Even though I only worked with him as an actor, I was always asking Orson Welles (Butterfly) for tips on how to survive a bad movie.

What was your favorite film role?

Of all the films that I've done the most important one is the one I'm working on at the moment…which at this moment is a film entitled Unshackled. It's a prison film set in 1970's Georgia, chronicling the racial tensions and integration of both the prison system and of southern culture through the sport of basketball. Based on a true story by Harold Morris, I play Warden Kelso, a man caught a political vice between his own personal feelings towards blacks and the new laws. Unshackled begins principal photography March 1, 2000, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Your favorite Leading Ladies?

Joan Collins (Love Letters), Faye Dunaway (Doc), Jamie Lee Curtis (Roadgames), Lauren Hutton, Tanya Roberts, Linda Carter, Sharon Stone, Delta Burke (Mike Hammer), Ursula Andress (Mountain of the Cannibal God), Virna Lisi (Mystery of the Dark Jungle), Claudia Cardinale and Lindsay Wagner (Princess Daisy).

And of course the leading lady of his real life, wife, Malgosia, who was playing a small role in the Mike Hammer series in 1983. They were married in 1986 and have two children, their son, Shannon, age 11, and their daughter, Karolina, age 9. Malgosia loves Yoga, hates computers, and is a native of Warsaw, Poland.
