Simon MacCorkindale as Harry Harper in Casualty. Photo copyright of the BBC.
AFTER a long battle with cancer, British actor Simon MacCorkindale passed away last night (Thursday, October 14th) with his wife, actress Susan George, by his side. Best known for playing Harry Harper in the long-running BBC medical drama Casualty, the actor became a familiar face in the U.S. with starring roles in the nighttime soap opera Falcon Crest and the Sci-Fi/Fantasy series Manimal.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. MacCorkindale several years ago and found him to be a thoroughly engaging, thoughtful and sincere individual. My condolences go out to his wife and family. Click on the link below to go to BBC.co.uk for further information about the actor and his passing:
