Daytime is again mourning a loss.
Actor and classical music composer Keith Douglas Pruitt has passed away at age 47. The actor, who was known for roles on As the World Turns and Guiding Light, passed away in his Greenwich Village apartment.
In daytime, Pruitt appeared as Frank Wendall on As the World Turns, Robinson on Guiding Light, and Flynn Reilly on Loving.
His classical compositions have been commissioned and performed by the Florida Philharmonic, the San Jose Symphony, and the New York City Ballet. Additionally, Pruitt founded the Keith Pruitt Piano Studio in New York several years ago.
In 1994, Pruitt and a companion were victims of a hate crime attack in New York City, and he was active in helping convict his attackers and send them to prison. Earlier this year, Pruitt was injured in a house fire earlier this year, which may have led to his death by choking.
