Subject: Casualty actor Simon MacCorkindale dies aged 58
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/15/10 at 1:06 pm
Actor Simon MacCorkindale, who starred in BBC One's Casualty, has died aged 58 after suffering from cancer.
His publicist, Max Clifford, said he died in the arms of his wife, actress Susan George, on Thursday night in a London Clinic.
The actor revealed last year he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2006, but was told it was terminal after it spread to his lungs a year later.
He spent six years on the BBC medical drama as Dr Harry Harper.
He was also known for starring in 1980s series Manimal and Falcon Crest and appearing in the 1978 Agatha Christie film Death on the Nile.
Ms George said: "No-one could have fought this disease any harder than he did since being diagnosed four years ago.
"He fought it with such strength, courage and belief. Last night, he lost this battle, and he died peacefully in my arms.
"To me, he was simply the best of everything, and I loved him with all my heart. He will live on in me forever."
He began his career in theatre, making his West End debut in a production of Pygmalion, before moving to the small screen.
He moved to the US after the success of Death on the Nile where he had roles in various TV series including Dynasty, Hart to Hart and The Dukes of Hazzard before securing the lead in adventure series Manimal.
After being diagnosed with cancer while working on Casualty, he left the drama and returned to the stage in the West End production of The Sound of Music until its closed in February 2009.
His last television appearance was on BBC series New Tricks earlier this year.

I just checked. There is all sorts of Manimal memorabilia (mainly promo pics of Simon and his costar). But no DVD set. :-\\
