A beloved star on General Hospital has passed away. Randall England, best known for playing the villain Jack Slater on the long-running show, has died at age 75.
Randall England’s family announced that the actor died on September 25, 2026, according to an obituary. He passed away “peacefully, surrounded by his family,” it reads.
Born on September 22, 1951, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Randall showed an early talent for sports, excelling in both baseball and football. He attended Memorial High School in Tulsa, graduating in 1969, before attending the University of Oklahoma, where he pitched for the Sooners baseball team.
However, a trip to New York City would change the direction of his life for good. It was there that Randall’s modeling career began, eventually taking him around the world. He worked in fashion hubs such as London, Zurich, Milan, and Los Angeles.
He would also appear in several advertising campaigns and commercials for well-known brands, including Dunlop tires and PlayStation. The model would be in front of a camera several times over, but not doing work for any other brand. Instead, he turned to the entertainment industry, working in television and film.
Randall began his acting career in 1978 with an uncredited role in the TV movie ‘Ruby and Oswald’. He later appeared in an episode of the series ‘This Is the Life’ in 1984.
That same year, he landed a role that would become one of his best-known appearances, playing villain Jack Slater on the popular soap opera ‘General Hospital’. Randall went on to appear in more than 30 episodes of the long-running series.

His television work also included two appearances on ‘Baywatch’ in the late 1990s. In 2008, he lent his voice to the character Butler in the family comedy film ‘Beverly Hills Chihuahua’.
Randall continued to work in the entertainment industry for several decades, with his final screen credit coming in the 2018 film ‘Shiner’. Beyond acting, he also explored his talents behind the camera, producing projects including the documentary ‘The Needs of Kim Stanley’.
His career was not limited to film and television, either. Randall also had a passion for the stage and appeared in several theatrical productions, including ‘All My Sons’, ‘The Glass Menagerie’ and ‘The Three Sisters’.
His work in the latter earned him a Drama League Award for the production’s best ensemble cast, adding another achievement to his long career in entertainment.
“Charming, loving, and generous with his time and energy, Randall was someone people could count on. Friends, family, and former students have remembered his authenticity and the steady presence he offered in their lives. He offered encouragement and advice freely. His legacy lives on in the people he loved, taught, and supported,” his obituary reads.
Survived by his daughter and grandchildren
“Randall had the good fortune of surrounding himself with a wonderfully varied and interesting circle of people. He loved good conversation, film, art, theater, sports, and music,” it continued. “He collected keepsakes and memorabilia from the many chapters of his life and delighted in sharing the stories and lessons behind them. He also loved coaching baseball, mentoring young actors, working on his classic BMWs, and cheering on the Oklahoma Sooners.”
In 1987, Randall married Jennifer Leigh Herreras, and two years later, the couple welcomed their daughter, Micaela Rae. He would later also become a grandfather.
Randall England is survived by his daughter, Micaela Reed, and grandchildren Katherine and Julian.
Rest in peace, Randall England. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
