Former One Life to Live star Robert Vaughn (ex-Bishop Corrington) passed away today at the age of 83. The actor had been battling acute leukemia.
"Mr. Vaughn passed away with his family around him," his manager, Matthew Sullivan, confirmed.
Vaughn was most known for his role as Napoleon Solo on NBC's 1960s spy series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but soap fans likely recognize him as OLTL's Bishop Corrington, a role he played in 1996, or from the British soap Coronation Street, on which he starred as Milton Fanshaw in 2012.
Vaughn has a lengthy list of other credits, including Hustle, The Magnificent Seven, Law & Order, The Nanny, Danger Theater, Murder, She Wrote, Hunter, and The A-Team.
General Hospital's Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) took to Twitter with a farewell message for the New York native, writing, "Sorry to hear we lost an u.n.c.l.e Agent. RIP Robert Vaughn"
