Scott Bryce, an actor remembered for his roles in series such as Homeland, Sex and the City, or Law & Order, has died at the age of 68. It was his son Jackson who confirmed the news on social media, stating that his father passed away on July 12 after a long battle with cancer.
“This afternoon my father lost his long battle with cancer. What started as stage three esophageal cancer ended up spreading and became brain tumors that took his life,” begins the statement published on Instagram by the family.
“Through radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, and every moment of pain, I saw my father face it all with pride and courage, and with the firm conviction that, somehow, everything would turn out fine and he would win,” recalls Jackson Bryce, who asserts that “even a week before his passing,” the actor said “that he still believed he had a chance, and that he was willing to fight with all his might.”
Born on January 6, 1958, in New York City, Bryce made his screen debut in 1988 with a four-episode role as Rick Bonner in the NBC series The Facts of Life. But his big break came with his role as Craig Montgomery in As the World Turns, one of the longest-running soap operas on American television with nearly 14,000 episodes, which he joined in the late 1980s.
