Joe Kohen/Getty ImagesStacy Keach's health is apparently taking a beating.
The Golden Globe-winning actor was hospitalized yesterday for an undisclosed illness, according to his publicist.
"Actor Stacey Keach was hospitalized [Tuesday] morning and is in a Los Angeles hospital in stable condition," spokesman Dick Guttman said in a statement. Further details were not available.
The ailment forced the 67-year-old thesp to bow out of Tuesday night's scheduled performance of the touring production of Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre, for which he's won plaudits as Richard Nixon. The show went on with his understudy, Bob Ari, stepping in. The play is scheduled to run through March 29.
Keach is Mickey Spillane's gumshoe Mike Hammer on the 1980s CBS series, Mike Hammer: Private Eye. He won an Golden Globe as Ernest Hemingway in the acclaimed 1988 TV biopic and more recently played the embattled warden on Fox's Prison Break.
