I don't watch soaps, but it's too bad. The article said that he had been battling depression since the death of his mother is 2003 (I think).

He was a good actor, not a pretty boy - in fact, rugged, like a guy anyone might know. That is really sad. My mom and I always watched that soap, so did my grandma! I just saw him on the show today - the storyline had him at his daughter's funeral (taped). May he rest in peace.
