“Days of Our Lives” actor Robert Kelker-Kelly has died. He was 62.
A medical examiner in Missouri told TMZ that Kelker-Kelly passed away on Oct. 3. A cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Kelker-Kelly began his career when he made his acting debut in 1987 as Sam Fowler in the soap opera “Another World.” He played the character for three years.
In 1992, Kelker-Kelly was cast to play Bo Brady on “Days of Our Lives,” — a role that was originally held by actor Peter Reckell.
Kelker-Kelly also portrayed Stavros Cassadine on “General Hospital” in 2001, and had guest appearances on the soap opera in 2002, 2003, 2013 and 2014.
Earlier this year, Kelker-Kelly made headlines when his former “Days of Our Lives” co-star Lisa Rinna accused the actor of being the “biggest bully in Hollywood.”
In Rinna’s memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” she claimed Kelker-Kelly “was horrible to” her.
“I’d go so far as to say verbally abusive,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum alleged in the book. “He was passive aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games.
“I had to work with him every day, often half-naked to do love scenes. If I didn’t do what he wanted, he’d give me the silent treatment,” she continued.
Rinna dubbed her former castmate “a ticking time bomb” and added that she never knew if she would “get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly” when she arrived on set each day.
“He was unpredictable and it was exhausting,” she claimed in the memoir.
