Veteran actor.

Bob Hastings, who played Port Charles’ Police Captain Burt Ramsey on “General Hospital” from 1979 until 1986, passed away on June 30 at the age of 89. Hastings had an impressive acting portfolio as both a voice and character actor. He is probably best known for playing Lt. Elroy Carpenter on “McHale’s Navy” and as the voice of Commissioner Gordon on various “Batman” animated programs over the years. Hastings is also the older brother of Don Hastings (ex-Bob Hughes, “As The World Turns”). Our thoughts and prayers are with Hastings family.
