I'm sorry, but I know an obviously bad idea when I see one.

He's an extremely good actor and might do very well. At the age of 27 he was terrific as Falstaff for the Public Theater. Also, he played Anthony in A&C for the RSC. Don't knock it if you haven't seen it.
Only going 'anon' since google is too boring to set up.
Yes, Keach is a good actor. But once you've seen Sir Ian, you'll never see another Lear as good. He is "every inch of a king." If you know what I mean.
Must plug! Slings & Arrows, a Canadian teevee series based on the well-known Sratford Shakespearean festival: their third and final season they do King Lear, and it's amazing to see. Do watch if you haven't and you like Shakespeare and theatre.

ps - I'm really sorry to geek out here, but it is *Antony* and Cleopatra.
Of course you're right Liquid. I'm afraid I allowed indignation to get the better of me. Stupid, I know. I was in the Henry IV and Keach was very good indeed. Couldn't watch the McKellan version: too old-fashioned. They somehow managed to make the play look bad. But I hear the series about Stratford is very funny.

I guess we just learned that Stacy Keach finds google too boring to set up.

D'oh!
That should read 'Stratford'.
