Randall England, General Hospital Villain Actor, Dies at 75

England’s family announced his death. He spent more than four decades living in Beverly Hills, where he settled after an audition brought him to Los Angeles. He began his career as a model in the early 1970s, with work in several cities in the United States and Europe, then learned the craft under instructors Kim Stanley and Stella Adler.

From November 1984 to June 1985, England played Jack Slater on General Hospital. The villain arrived in Port Charles under the guise of a movie producer and was revealed as a killer and jewel thief. Slater clashed with Robert Scorpio and was ultimately killed in a shoot-out.

England’s screen work also included Looker, roles in Dallas and The Young and the Restless, and an appearance on Baywatch. His later credits included Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and he appeared in Maroon 5’s 2015 music video for “Sugar.” Onstage, he acted in productions including Three Sisters, All My Sons, and The Glass Menagerie. He shared a Drama-Logue Award for ensemble performance for a Los Angeles production of Three Sisters in 1994.

He continued working as an actor, writer and producer, and made music under the name RAE. At the time of his death, he was developing a documentary about Stanley and her career. Survivors include his daughter, Micaela, grandchildren Katherine and Julian, his mother, Catherine, and his sister, Linda.
