Veteran US actor Stacy Keach has fallen victim to a mild stroke in Los Angeles but should not suffer any impairment from it, according to his spokesman.
Keach, 67, felt discomfort Tuesday while on stage performing in the role of US president Richard Nixon in the hit play "Frost/Nixon," according to his spokesman.
Famed for his boxer role in director John Huston's 1972 movie "Fat City" and as the 1980s television detective Mike Hammer, Keach was hospitalized and will stay for a day for observation.
