General Hospital’s Lindstrom took to his Instagram account to share a heartfelt post concerning this onscreen father. Along with a photo, Lindstrom posted the following about his onscreen father. “It is my solemn task to announce the passing of the great Nicholas Pryor.

Nick was an Actor’s actor, and an exceptional friend. He passed on October 7, 2024, surrounded by loving family. Nick may be best known for his role as the father of [Tom Cruise] in [Risky Business], or as the same to [Robert Downey Jr] in [Less Than Zero]. He shared the screen with the likes of [Jack Nicholson] [Kurt Russell] [Ewan McGregor] Too many to name really”.

“He starred on [Broadway] and delivered terrific work in Film and TV for over 60 years. But to me, he was my friend. One of the best I’ve ever had. He was a mentor, a sounding board, a trusted confidant, and even a father figure beyond, yes, playing my own father on GH and #PortCharles.

And he was one of the funniest people you could hope to spend time with over a bottle of good wine and a great meal. I will miss him terribly, as will his beautiful wife Christina, his daughter Stacey, and his two grandchildren, Gus and Avril. R.I.P. [Flight Of Angels] RIP [General Hospital].”
