The family of Chadwick Boseman, whose first job in the entertainment industry was as the initial actor to play Reggie Porter on All My Children back in 2003. He later shot to stardom to eventually play the titular role in Black Panther, revealed he passed away from colon cancer Friday. Several soap stars have been sharing their thoughts ever since.
Soap Stars Pay Tribute
Boseman was an actor’s actor, inspiring them as much as he did kids around the world with his larger than life roles that also included Jackie Robinson in the film 42, Thurgood Marshall in Marshall, Jacob King in King, and so much more.
“WOOW,” began former The Bold and the Beautiful star, Rome Flynn (ex-Zende), along with broken heart emojis, “rip Chadwick Boseman Rest In Power to our Black King man.”
“I didn’t think it was real,” began a shocked Anthony Montgomery (Andre, General Hospital). “There are no words… Rest in Paradise #chadwickboseman Thank you, King. Thank you for blessing us with your gifts and inspiration. Thank you for being a perfect example of why we deserve a seat at the table. May God bless your family, loved ones, friends and fans.🙏🏾”
“Such light! Such strength! Such talent! RIP Mr. Boseman. #BlackPanther #Jackie42 #ThurgoodMarshall #JamesBrown” wrote Days of our Lives star James Reynolds (Abe), while retweeting his onscreen daughter, Sal Stower’s (Lani) words, “A True Legend. Lost for words. Rest In Glory.”

“We never know what people are going thru in life,” shared The Young and the Restless star Sean Dominic (Nate), before he added “blessings to my brother in acting @chadwickboseman you will be missed. You inspired me my brotha. You’ve inspired others. It’s crazy how hard this has hit me. Wow just wow… Blessings and peace unto your family and friends my brotha… #liveinlove.”
“Rest in power to the king Crown to man I dreamed of working with you are missed,” shared former The Bold and the Beautiful star Pierson Fodé (ex-Thomas). “To your friends and family I’m sending nothing but love Broken heart – only admiration for you #Riptotheking.”
“When I first posted this photo,” said Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix, GH), “it was with shock and sadness. Upon further reflection, I want this picture to represent the image of a man with immense talent, and through the words of people close to him a wonderful human being. I didn’t know him, but had the opportunity to once briefly meet him. He was kind and genuine. What a wonderful contribution he’s made through his gifts. I know he’ll be greatly missed by many.”
“If you want to know what courage looks like at a time of such craven cowardice look no further than the example of @chadwickboseman,” said Charles Shaughnessy (ex-Shane, DAYS). “To carry on living and giving under the weight of this secret takes a special human. #RIPChadwick”
“RIP LEGEND @chadwickboseman,” wrote Jordi Vilasuso (Rey, YR). “Your talent will resonate for generations to come. Immensely talented and will be missed. #gonetoosoon #wakandaforever.”
