Tributes are pouring in for veteran actor Danny Keogh, 71, after it was confirmed he died earlier this week. Keogh cemented his name in various shows including Known Gods and Interrogation Room. He also starred in Clint Eastwood’s Invictus, in which he played the role of Louis Luyt, and Starship Troopers, in which he played the role of Dr. Wiggs.
Keogh’s son Ty, who is also an actor, posted a picture on his Instagram paying tribute to his father. In 2012, when talking about his father‘s success, Ty said he was the ultimate role model.
“I often talk about my father being my mentor and this is why. this credit list when combined with 22 best actor nominations for theatre and leading roles in numerous local television dramas and soaps, means I listen when he gives me advice.
RIP Danny Keogh- legend of an actor and always the consummate gentleman. If you worked alongside this man you learnt something. Condolences to his family. #actor #greatman #southafrica pic.twitter.com/lY4y30kCGc

@KKalarytis Sad to hear veteran actor Danny Keogh has passed away. I was privileged to have worked with him on Dora’s Peace in 2015. He was a very gifted and generous man and it was a joy working with him. South Africa has lost a great talent. R.I.P sir! pic.twitter.com/cjzi014bok
