The Hollywood Reporter reported that Stacy Keach, who starred as the hard-boiled private eye Mike Hammer on television and and worked on movies like Fat City, The New Centurions and many others, died Tuesday at the age of 85.

To Batman fans, however, he was the voice of Phantasm and Carl Beaumont in 1993's animated movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Keach's wife, Malgosia Tomassi Keach, announced that he died "after a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure" at his family home in Magdalenka, Poland.

Rest in peace.
