Henderson Forsythe, an accomplished character actor who demonstrated his versatility in plays by dramatists like O'Neill, Beckett and Pinter and in rollicking musicals, movies and television — including 31 years on the soap opera "As the World Turns," died on Monday at his home in Williamsburg Landing, Va. He was 88.

How very sad! Mr. Forsythe's character Dr. Stewart was truly a fantastic man. He played the role of Dr. Stewart for over 30 years I belive, alongside Patricia Bruder as his wife Ellen. Sadly David was killed off in the early '90s and Ellen was written out a few years later in favor of a bunch of insipid kids who couldn't act and didn't last a year on the show...Oh wait, how do I know this?

I also saw Mr. Forsythe in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." He played the sheriff and was great - a very different portrayl than Burt Reynolds in the movie.
