Take the BuddyTV Personality Quiz: Which Prison Break Character Are You? Aside from his motion picture and television accomplishments, Stacy Keach is one of America's most acknowledged Shakespearean actors. A New York Times review dubbed him "the finest American classical actor since John Barrymore." Keach has received a Golden Globe for Best Actor and has been nominated for Emmy and Tony Awards. He has won three Obies, three Vernon Rice Awards, the Helen Hayes Award and the Prestigious Millennium Recognition Award for his outstanding contribution to the classical theater. Keach is familiar to FOX audiences from his role in the network's comedy series "Titus," and he is known worldwide for his classic portrayal of Mickey Spillane's archetypal private eye, "Mike Hammer." Above all, he is a consummate actor who is equally at home on stage, film or television. He portrayed Warden Henry Pope in the FOX series Prison Break.
Warden Pope has been in charge of Fox River Penitentiary for the past eighteen years with an aim towards rehabilitation. It is his hope that when his inmates are released, they will be less likely to commit another crime. For that purpose, he has established an exhaustive prison industries program to help his inmates gain real world training in fields as diverse as painting, landscaping and various other industrial vocations. Warden Pope also runs an award-winning educational program to help his inmates gain high school equivalency diplomas and, in rare cases, even bachelor degrees.
