Levin had a long tenure on the soap, starring as the journalist Fenelli for all 13 seasons.
Levin appeared in 1,075 episodes and frequently starred alongside Kate Mulgrew, who played Mary Ryan Fenelli.
His initial plan was journalism.
“I was going to be a writer.
My father was a self-made businessman and I didn’t want to go into business.
In fact, Levin only found acting by default.
“I had always thought of acting as sort of sissy stuff!
When I grew up, it was all sports and fighting,” he began.
“Because I didn’t want to work, I decided to become an actor!”
From 1978 to 1980, Levin was honored three times with Emmy Award nominations.
He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and two sons, Jason and Aaron.
