Randall England, who portrayed the villain Jack Slater on the long-running soap opera General Hospital, has died at the age of 75. England passed away peacefully on September 25, surrounded by family, following a battle with esophageal cancer.
England appeared in 31 episodes of General Hospital between 1984 and 1985. His obituary noted that "Randall lived a life full of interesting people and stories. Of all his roles, being a father and 'Pappaw' to his grandchildren meant the most to him." The family requested donations to the Esophageal Cancer Action Network in lieu of flowers.
Beyond his role on General Hospital, England's television credits include appearances on Dallas, The Young and the Restless, and Baywatch. He also had a cameo in Maroon 5's 2015 music video for "Sugar."
His film roles included Cat City and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. He also participated in stage productions such as All My Sons, The Glass Menagerie, and Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters.
England also worked as a writer, producer, and musician, releasing music under the name RAE. He was born in Oklahoma City in 1951 and began his career in modeling in New York City before moving to Los Angeles.
He is survived by his daughter Micaela Reed, grandchildren Katherine and Julian Reed, his mother Catherine Burgess, sister Linda Baker, and ex-wife Jennifer. The passing of England follows that of other General Hospital stars, including Johnny Wactor, who died in 2024, and Tristan Rogers, who died last August.
