He was only on for a short time in early 1967, and he later played Don Hughes on As The World Turns

RIP

Incidentely Hugh Franklin played Fowkes's father on DS. He was later on the original cast members of All My Children.

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't remember hearing of this before. I just saw an interview with him not that long ago, talking about his time on DS. He seemed to have fond memories of the show, although he admitted he did not exactly have the most exciting part.
