Randall England, an actor, model, writer and producer who appeared in TV shows including “General Hospital,” died Sept. 25 in Los Angeles, his family has announced. He was 75.
England began his career in 1978 with an uncredited
role in the TV movie “Ruby and Oswalk” before landing an episode of the TV series “This Is the Life” in 1984. That same year, England was cast as “General Hospital” villain Jack Slater, and went on to appear on more than 30 episodes of the long-running soap opera. He appeared in two episodes of “Baywatch” in the late 1990s, and also voiced the character of Butler in the 2008 film “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.”
His last credit was for the 2018 film “Shiner,” and his producing work included the documentary The Needs of Kim Stanley. On stage, England appeared in productions of “All My Sons,” “The Glass Menagerie” and “The Three Sisters,” the latter of which he won a Drama League Award for best ensemble cast.
England was born on September 22, 1951, in Oklahoma City and graduated from the University of Oklahoma. He began modeling in the early 1970s and went on to work in New York, London, Zurich, Milan and Los Angeles. He studied acting with Kim Stanley and Stella Adler before building a career across television, film and theater.
He is survived by daughter Micaela Reed (Sam); grandchildren Katherine and Julian; mother Catherine Burgess; sister Linda Baker; and extended family.
While England’s family did not confirm his cause of death, they noted that memorial donations can be made to the Esophageal Cancer Action Network (ECAN).
