The veteran actor played ruthless Alistair Crane, who was in the "Passions" story since its debut in 1999 but was only heard and never seen until Bailey took the role and gave it a face in September. "It is with great sadness that we learned of the sudden passing of David Bailey," said the executive producer Lisa de Cazotte in a statement on the show's Web site. "He was a man of great compassion and kindness as well as an extraordinary actor. " The actor's other television credits included the daytime dramas "Another World" and "Ryan's Hope." He also had guest roles on the nighttime dramas "Law & Order" and "Kate & Allie." Bailey is survived by his wife, Yvonne Bailey, of Philadelphia, and a son, Xander Bailey, of Los Angeles.
