Adan Canto, a veteran actor best known for roles on The Cleaning Lady and Designated Survivor, has passed away after having been diagnosed with appendiceal cancer.<\/p>\n
He was 42 years old.<\/p>\n
The very sad news was confirmed late Tuesday by the star\u2019s reps, who told Deadline this afternoon: <\/p>\n
\u201cAdan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever. He will be greatly missed by so many.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Adan Canto attends 2022 Fox Upfront on May 16, 2022 in New York City.

Canto was planning to rejoin the cast later in Season 3 after he had overcome the health issues that eventually took his life.<\/p>\n
Tragically, of course, he was unable to do so.<\/p>\n
The series will pay tribute to its star with a card on the Season 3 premiere.<\/p>\nAdan Canto attends \u201cBennett\u2019s War\u201d Los Angeles Premiere at Warner Bros.

\u201cA wonderful actor and dear friend, we were honored to have him as part of the Warner Bros. Television and FOX Entertainment families since his U.S. debut in The Following more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost recently, he lit up the screen in The Cleaning Lady with a powerful performance that showcased his artistry, range, depth and vulnerability.<\/p>\n
