Joseph Mascolo, who played iconic villain Stefano DiMera on the NBC daytime soap Days of Our Lives, has died. He was 87 years old. His nickname was the Phoenix, as he died so many times on the show only to come back again.
However, The actor decided to quit the show for good about 6 months ago and they had one of his 'enemies' shoot him dead. This week actually uncovered that he knew that he was terminally ill and wanted to go out with revenge. The shooter is now in prison. In a strange way fitting that he really did pass away.
I've seen him in this role since the mid 80's.
