(1996), American History X (1998), The Bourne Legacy (2012) and Nebraska (2013). Keach is known to television audiences for his portrayal of private detective Mike Hammer in television movies and on the television series Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer (1984–1987), for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe, as Ken Titus on the sitcom Titus (2000–2002) and as the narrator of the crime documentary series American Greed (2007–present).
