Peter White, who played Bill Horton as an emergency substitute for 2 episodes on "Days of Our Lives" in 1987, has passed away. White appeared on the October 13, 1987 and October 15, 1987 episodes as Bill, replacing Christopher Stone who was unavailable to tape those episodes.

White, best known for playing Lincoln Tyler on All My Children, was 86.

His death was confirmed to multiple reports by Kathleen Noone, who played Ellen Dalton on the former ABC sudser from 1978-2011.

White’s cause of death on Nov. 1 was melanoma.

The New York City-born actor joined the action in Pine Valley in 1976 and stayed on the soap on and off through 2005.

A graduate of Northwestern University from the School of Communications, White studied acting at the Yale School of Drama. He kicked off his prolific career on stage and was part of the original 1968 cast of the hit Off-Broadway play, “The Boys in the Band.”

He amassed multiple TV credits, including appearances in Cannon, Hill Street Blues, Falcon Crest, The Jeffersons, Hart to Hart, Dynasty, Simon & Simon, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, NYPD Blue, The West Wing and Ally McBeal. His film credits include Dave, Flubber, Armageddon, Thirteen Days and First Daughter. (Obituary via https://deadline.com/2023/11/peter-white-dead-former-all-my-children-actor-86-1235593374/)
 
I was looking at his IMDB page. I remember him from playing the deceased father in flashbacks on the old NBC show Sisters.

Sad to hear that he died.
 
He was a random pop up on Days for me. He's not in any of the history books, so I only learned of his Bill appearances when I was watching the 1987 episodes and saw the "Peter White is temporarily playing Bill Horton" thingy. So was a surprise to learn of an extra Bill Horton that way!
