We will no longer see his angelic face as in the soap-opera Capitol. He played Wally McCandless from 1982 to 1987 and in Santa Barbara (he was an ephemeral Jeremy in 1990). Bill Beyers died of AIDS, on May 29 at 37 years old.
His parents (his father is a famous doctor), his wife and his two sisters have only announced it in requesting instead of flowers on his tomb, to donate to organizations fighting against AIDS.
Beyond the actor, Bill Beyers was devoted to several causes, including the sexual abuse of children. In 1984, he has been named "national young ambassador" of the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse and was often called at the Senate in Washington.
