I can't believe this. They just had the storyline about his adopted daughter Jennifer dying on the air, but he has died in real life at the age of 55. He was such a great actor, and was in many theater productions as well as movies. I don't think I can watch that soap until his last day airs. Such a shock. Don't know what he died of or from.
