Former General Hospital and Dallas TV star John Reilly has died, his daughter said Sunday.
Reilly was 84 years old according to his IMDb profile.
The handsome dim-witted acne actor got a recurring role in the hit night soapie ‘Dallas’ in the early eighties before occupying a spot in the top ABC series ‘General Hospital’ during the day as the retired spy Sean Donely.
He was so popular at one point that John C. Reilly, the unrelated star character, had to add his middle initial to his name to be identified separately, director Judd Apatow tweeted once.
‘The brightest light in the world has gone out. Imagine the best person in the world. Imagine that person is your father, ‘John Reilly’s daughter, Caitlin Reilly, wrote on Instagram on Sunday – along with a photo of her father embracing her as a little girl.
“I’m so grateful he was mine,” she added of John Reilly.
‘I’m so grateful I had to love him. I am so thankful that I made it in time to hold and greet him. I honestly do not know what I’m going to do, but I know he will be with me. I love you Daddy forever. ‘
