Adan Canto was remembered by his “Designated Survivor” costar Kiefer Sutherland as a “wonderful spirit” after the actor died at 42 of cancer.
Maggie Q, who also starred on the ABC drama, praised Canto’s “kindness and warmth and generosity of spirit,” while Neal Baer, one of the series’ executive producers, wrote on social media, “He was a vibrant part of our series… playing Aaron Shore with wit and passion. He will be greatly missed.”
The Mexican American actor, who most recently played Arman Morales on Fox’s “The Cleaning Lady,” died after a private battle with appendiceal cancer.
“It seems lately I have had to make too many posts like this one, but I am heartbroken by the loss of Adan Canto,” Sutherland wrote in his Instagram caption of a photo of himself and Canto from the set of the series, which ran from 2016 to 2019.
