Kelker-Kelly began his acting career on “Another World” in 1987, playing Sam Fowler.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He joined “Days of Our Lives” in 1992 as Bo Brady, taking over the role from Peter Reckell. Kelker-Kelly played the character opposite Kristian Alfonso<\/a>‘s Hope Brady and Lisa Rinna<\/a>‘s Billie Reed before Reckell returned to the role in 1995.<\/p>\n

Kelker-Kelly made headlines earlier this year after Rinna discussed their contentious relationship in her memoir. Rinna alleged Kelker-Kelly was verbally abusive, manipulative and played mind games with her while they worked together on the soap.<\/p>\n

Rinna also claimed the actor\u2019s abrupt departure from “Days of Our Lives” prompted NBC to provide her and Alfonso with security for several weeks. Kelker-Kelly did not publicly respond to Rinna’s allegations.<\/p>\n

Kelker-Kelly later appeared on “General Hospital” as Stavros Cassadine. He also worked as a professional pilot.<\/p>\n

Robert was 62.<\/p>\n
