Matt LeBlanc is paying tribute to late costar Stacy Keach.

On Thursday, Nov. 12, LeBlanc, 59, remembered his Man with a Plan costar on Instagram, writing, “A true legend. We had some good laughs. You’ll be missed my friend.”

The Friends alum shared the message alongside a throwback photo of himself and Keach at the late actor’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in July 2019.

Keach and LeBlanc worked together on the CBS sitcom Man with a Plan from 2016 to 2020. For four seasons, the pair starred as father and son, Joe and Adam Burns. The series followed Adam (LeBlanc), a rugged contractor whose life is turned upside down when his wife Andi (Liza Snyder) returns to work after more than a decade as a stay-at-home mother. 

LeBlanc’s tribute comes two days after news of Keach’s death. The actor’s wife, Malgosia Keach, confirmed that her husband died in his family home in Magdalenka, Poland, on Tuesday, Nov. 10. He was 85. 

In a statement, Malgosia said Keach died after “a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure.”

“Stacy peacefully departed this world,” she wrote. “He fought for so long, with extraordinary courage, determination and strength. He was a true warrior, facing his illness with the same remarkable spirit and resilience that defined his life.”

Małgosia continued, “Stacy was not only a legendary actor, admired and loved by audiences the world over, but also my beloved husband, my companion and the heart of our family. His passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in our lives. But his extraordinary spirit, his unforgettable voice and the love he gave so generously will remain with us forever.”

Jane Seymour, who was married to Stacy’s brother James Keach from 1993 to 2015, also paid tribute to the late actor in a message on Instagram. 

“My heart is heavy with the news of Stacy Keach’s passing,” she wrote. “Stacy was not only an extraordinary actor and a true master of his craft, but someone who was part of my family and my life for so many years.”

“His remarkable talent, unmistakable voice, and larger-than-life presence will never be forgotten. But beyond the extraordinary artist, I will always remember the man who was part of our family and the years and memories we shared.”

Seymour continued, “Rest in peace, dear Stacy. You leave behind an extraordinary legacy, and a place in our hearts that will always be yours.”
