Maurice William Elias (December 23, 1936 – September 9, 2016), better known as James Stacy, was an American film and television actor.
In 1973, Stacy was hit by a drunk driver while driving his motorcycle, resulting in the amputation of his left leg and arm and the death of his girlfriend. He returned to acting in 1975 before retiring in 1991.
Stacy was born Maurice William Elias on December 23, 1936, in Los Angeles to an Irish-Scottish waitress and a Lebanese-American bookmaker.
Stacy made his film debut in Sayonara in 1957, and his television debut in Highway Patrol. He had a recurring role as "Fred" in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet from 1958 to 1963. During the 1960s he made guest appearances in television shows, including Gunsmoke, Hazel, The Donna Reed Show, Have Gun - Will Travel, and Combat!. In 1966, he appeared in the final episode of Perry Mason as actor and murder victim Barry Conrad in "The Case of the Final Fade-Out".
