James Stacy

Maurice William Elias, born on December 23, 1936, is better known by his stage name, James Stacy. He was an accomplished American actor who gained fame in the late 1960s for his role in the television western series Lancer. His performances captivated audiences and showcased his talent in both film and television.

Tragedy struck in 1973 when Stacy was involved in a devastating motorcycle accident caused by a drunk driver. The incident resulted in the severing of his left leg, and his left arm, which was nearly severed, was later amputated during medical treatment. The crash also claimed the life of his girlfriend, leaving a profound impact on his life.

Despite the challenges he faced, Stacy made a remarkable return to acting in 1975, demonstrating resilience and determination. He continued to work in the industry until his retirement in 1992. However, his later years were marred by controversy, as he was convicted of child molestation in 1995, leading to his withdrawal from the public eye.
