TORONTO — Veteran actor Charles Keating — best known for playing Carl Hutchins on the daytime drama Another World — has died after a battle with cancer. He was 72.

Keating’s former Another World co-star Alicia Coppola shared the news Saturday on Twitter.

“I am so very sad,” she wrote.

Born in England, Keating acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company before taking roles on television both in the UK and America.

He earned a Daytime Emmy in 1996 for playing Hutchins on Another World and was nominated for a Tony in 1986 for the play Loot.
