\tQuinn K. Redeker, a prolific television and film actor whose career spanned more than 50 years and included fan-favorite stints on NBC’s Days of Our Lives<\/em> and CBS’ The Young and The Restless<\/em>, died in Los Angeles of natural causes on Dec. 20. He was 86.<\/p>\n

\n

\tHis death was announced by his family. <\/p>\n

\n

\tRedeker was probably best known for his portrayal of the villainous Alex Marshall on Days of Our Lives<\/em> from 1979 to 1987, and, from 1987 to 1994, as wealthy businessman Rex Sterling on The Young and the Restless <\/em>(Redeker had briefly played two other characters on restless<\/em> prior to his casting as Sterling).<\/p>\n

\n

\tHis performance in the Rex Sterling role earned Redeker two nominations for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (1989 and 1990).<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn addition to an acting career that encompassed leading man roles and character parts, Redeker received a story credit and Oscar nomination for Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter <\/em>(1978). The movie was based in part on an unproduced screenplay titled The Man Who Came to Play<\/em> written by Redeker and Louis A. Garfinkle.<\/p>\n

\n

\tA familiar face on television for decades, Redeker made numerous guest appearances on episodic series including Bonanza, That Girl, Mannix, Ironside, Mayberry RFD, Adam-12, The Bob Newhart Show, Kojak, Cannon, The Six Million Dollar Man <\/em>and supernatural<\/em>to name a sample. <\/p>\n

\n

\tOn the big screen, his films varied from The Three Stooges Meet Hercules<\/em> (1962) to Where The Buffalo Roam<\/em> (1980). <\/p>\n

\n

\tA role in 1972’s The Candidate <\/em>starring Robert Redford began an association between the two actors that would include reuniting with Redford in 1979’s The Electric Horseman<\/em>. When Redford made his feature directing debut with the celebrated Ordinary People <\/em>in 1980, he cast Redeker in a small but emotional scene as the golf-playing brother of the grieving Beth (played by Mary Tyler Moore).<\/p>\n

\n

\tRedeker is survived by his adult children Brennen, Arianne, Glaen, and Quinn Jr., and two grandchildren.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
