===Career=== Stacy is perhaps best remembered as a star of the western series ''Lancer'', playing a retired gunslinger named Johnny Lancer. His television debut was in the 1950s series ''Highway Patrol'', and his film debut was in the 1957 drama film ''Sayonara''. He made multiple TV guest appearence in the 60s, including ''Perry Mason'' and ''Have Gun - Will Travel''. Stacy was married to actress Connie Stevens in 1963, but they divorced some time after and he married another actress named Kim Darby. They went on to have a daughter named Kim before divorcing in 1969. However, Stacy's career hit a serious roadblock when he was involved in a car crash in September 1973. A drunk driver crashed into his motorcycle and killed his passenger, Claire Cox. Stacy himself was injured so badly he had to have his left arm and leg amputated. In 1976, he won a $1.9 million lawsuit against the bar that had served the drunk driver. Despite his serious injuries, Stacy made a comeback in 1976 in the Kirk Douglas film ''Posse'' as journalist Harold Helleman. However, his real comeback was in 1977, when he starred in the TV movie ''Just a Little Inconvenience'' as a disabled veteran. His career was extremely successful until his retirement in 1991
