Billy Miller, Young & The Restless and General Hospital star, dead at 43

Billy Miller – who starred in multiple TV series including The Young and the Restless, General Hospital and Suits – died on Friday, it’s been confirmed.

Actor Billy Miller has died at the age of 43.

Soap opera star Billy Miller, a three-time Daytime Emmy winner known for his roles on The Young and the Restless and General Hospital, died on Friday.

He was 43.

Miller’s agent told The Post on Sunday that he struggled with manic depression.

His death, in Austin, Texas, was first reported by soap opera journalist Michael Fairman.

Miller was just two days shy of turning 44.

The Post also reached out to The Belmont, one of several Los Angeles bars Miller co-owned.

Born on September 17, 1979, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Miller grew up in Grand Prairie, Texas. He was in and out of the hospital as a kid for a tarsal condition, he told Soaps in Depth, which affected the cartilage in his ankles.

After attending the University of Texas at Austin, he worked in the mailroom at Industry Entertainment before being signed as a model to Wilhelmina.

He got his start on the popular soap opera All My Children, playing Richie Novak for a short stint before joining the cast of The Young and the Restless in 2008 as the fourth iteration of Billy Abbott.

He departed the show in 2014.
