Dynasty: Christopher Cazenove dies at 64

Just a few days after the death of John Forsythe, Dynasty actor Christopher Cazenove has died at the age of 64. The man who played Blake Carrington’s evil brother for two seasons succumbed to septicaemia (blood poisoning). He had been battling cancer for the past year.

Cazenove was a veteran actor and appeared in dozens of films over the past 40 years, most notably, 3 Men and a Little Lady, A Knight’s Tale, Zulu Dawn, and Eye of the Needle.

On television, he appeared in series like Judge John Deed, Charmed, Nash Bridges, and Tales from the Crypt.

According to the Daily Mail, Cazenove’s agent, Lesley Duff, said on behalf of his family and girlfriend Isabel Davies: “Christopher died peacefully surrounded by his loved ones having contracted septicaemia at the end of February. Despite a valiant fight and the untiring efforts of the wonderful team at St Thomas, he was overwhelmed. All who knew and loved him will be devastated by the loss of this incredible man.”
