Actor Michael Tylo died on Tuesday at Henderson Hospital in Herderson, NV, following an illness. He was 72.
Michael Tylo’s demise was reported by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he had been teaching since 2003. He was a film professor. In the long run turned into an assistant dean for the College of Fine Arts and taught acting for UNLV Film.

“Michael Tylo was a beautiful and caring human being — he was so special,” said Nancy Uscher, Dean of the College of Fine Arts. “He was an exemplary friend, colleague, teacher, and artist. He had such a distinguished and rich career, but he was humble about his accomplishments.”
“He loved his family dearly and lived a joyous life, but he left us way too soon. We will miss him greatly but feel deep gratitude about all that Michael contributed to the College of Fine Arts, UNLV, and the world.”

He is survived by spouse Rachelle, little girls Kollette, Izabelle and Katya. He was gone before in death by Michael Tylo Jr., his child from a past union with The Bold and The Beautiful entertainer Hunter Tylo. Michael Tylo, Jr., known as Mickey, suffocated while having a seizure in 2007.
Michael Tylo broke into the soap world in 1980, with a momentary projecting on Another World. In 1981, he started a three-year run-on Guiding Light in which he momentarily returned in 1996. He additionally showed up on a few dramas including The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, All My Children, and General Hospital.

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of Soup Opera Super Star Michael Tylo. He was best known to me as Zorro's arch-nemesis, The Alcalde Luis Ramone, in the series that I would race home to see every afternoon after school when I was a kid. RIP Alcalde

RIP Michael Tylo a man who starred in many soap operas including my favorite All My Children. He went on to teach at the University of Nevada where others might benefit from his incredible knowledge of acting and film work
