Never one to let ethics stand in his way, the villain had his hands in organized crime, shady business dealings, and terrorism.
Though he’s held a wide variety of roles in film, television, and theater, Mascolo is best known as the scenery-chewing villain Stefano DiMera on Days of Our Lives.
It is being reported by Deadline that Joseph Mascolo has passed away after a battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Mascolo joined the soap opera in 1982 after the character of DiMera was created with him in mind.
