Mitchell Ryan, Dark Shadows and General Hospital Soap Vet, Dead at 88

Oddly enough, I thought he had passed away years ago, hence ReRon’s excuse for that ridiculous Frank Smith recast in that horrible “exit” storyline he wrote for Luke Spencer… where the fake “Frank” was the same age as Luke himself.
I actually liked Mitchell Ryan’s version of Frank Smith, because after Punky Brewster & the Police Academy movies, it would be hard to imagine George Gaynes as “evil” again.
He was a great actor. Rest in Peace.
Wasn’t he also Alex Hunter, Jeremy’s father, on All My Children?
I am very sorry to hear this news. I enjoyed him in so many roles over the years. With his booming voice and commanding presence, he was always a force to be reckoned with. I remember his Frank Smith very well. May he rest in peace.
I always liked him in any role he played. He was a good actor and easy on the eyes. He’s one of the classics. RIP.
When I saw the news elsewhere online, I hoped you would cover it and I’m glad to see you did. I wanted to make any comment I had about him here on this forum. Thanks for all you do Michael.
I just saw the scenes of Mitch Ryan w/ Genie Francis and sad to hear about his passing but what stood out to me was how powerful and charismatic Genie was/is. She was so powerful in that scene w/him. I can’t believe Genie has been overlooked for so many years as a top notch Emmy leading lady. I know she won the supporting actress years later, but wow she’s such a powerhouse who has been overshadowed by Anthony Geary and all his Emmy wins. Genie should have as many wins as him or any of the other Actress that have… Read more »
Very well said. Genie Francis is a powerhouse performer who deserves much more recognition than she has received.
I did not see him in the mentioned soap roles, but saw him in so many other roles. He was one of those actors who continually popped up on many different shows. I really liked him – a talented and versatile actor.
Sending my sincere condolences to his family and GH crew.
