Another Carrington passes away in just a week, i grew up with 'The Dynasty'. Sad News really...May His Soul Rest In Peace, Amen.
Christopher Cazenove has died after a "valiant battle" with septicaemia, his family said.
The British actor was best known for his role as Ben Carrington in the glamorous 1980s soap opera Dynasty.
In a statement released through Lesley Duff, his agent for the past 12 years, his family and girlfriend Isabel Davis said: "Christopher died peacefully on April 7 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's, he was overwhelmed. All who knew and loved him will be devastated by the loss of this incredible man who touched so many lives."
Cazenove, 64, was taken to St Thomas's Hospital in London, after he was taken ill at his London home.
The actor, who was born in Winchester, Hampshire, first found fame as Charlie Tyrrell in the 1970s mini-series The Duchess Of Duke Street.
The Old Etonian went on to play The Baron in the television adaptation of Jeffrey Archer's novel Kane and Abel and Captain Preston in the Second World War drama Jenny's War, both released in 1985.
But it was his short time as Ben Carrington in Dynasty which made him a household name.
