Oh no. I didn't recognize the name but when I saw his picture I immediately recognized him. He was a very funny creep too. Remember he used to call his gun a ""persuade-iator?""

I did not know he and Christine were married.

Everybody in my family were ""All My Children"" fans. I remember Billy Clyde - Used to scare the heck out of me! He was sooo good in the role.

I'm sorry to hear he died. I didn't realize he was married to Christine B.

Hey Sis ! How funny, but then great minds think alike {#emotions_dlg.thumbup} He was such a "character" - in every since of the word I am sure. I imagine he leaves quite a void in the lives of his loved ones.

When he used threaten Donna on AMC he used to spit when he talked. That always made me laugh.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

So sorry to learn of this. My heavens, only last week we had a thread on the season finale of "The Good Wife" and a discussion of Christine Baranski as a perfect expression of a Linea Lady.

Carpe diem, folks.

I was a kid when my sister would watch all my children but I thought billy Clyde was so funny. So many years together, she will have lovely memories but will miss him so much ---

He was also in the theater and was a playwright.

I read that he created and wrote the part of Billy Clyde Tuggle.
