HUNTINGTON, New York - Benjamin Hendrickson, an Emmy Award-winning actor on the "As the World Turns" soap opera, committed suicide this week with a gunshot to the head, police said.
Suffolk County police officers, called by concerned neighbors to Hendrickson's Long Island home, said they found him dead in his bed on Monday.
Hendrickson, 55, was a member of the first graduating class of the Juilliard School of Drama, along with actors Kevin Kline and Patti LuPone. He appeared on Broadway in the early 1980s as a replacement in the title role of "The Elephant Man" and in the 1984 revival of "Awake and Sing!"
He played Chief of Detectives Hal Munson for more than 20 years on CBS' "As the World Turns," winning a Daytime Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in 2003.
His last air date on the show will be July 12.

No seriously if I ever happen to be walking by this guys grave I'm gonna take a hot steamy piss all over it.
This guy made a ton of money, probably did a lot of really good coke off 10k dollar a nights hooker breastessess and had a great and easy life. What a douche.
At least I can take some consolation that he will spend eternity in hell.
