Career

Among roles in various movies, he is most known—and most hated—for his role as the evil James Stenbeck on the soap opera As the World Turns, a role he has played off and on from 1980 to 1984, from 1986 to 1989, in 1996, from 1997 to 1999, in 2001 and 2002-2005. After a three year absence from the show, Herrera reprised the role of Stenbeck in August, 2008.
However, on September 28, 2008 Herrera left once again when Stenbeck fell to what appeared (as of 2009) to have been his final and real death. However, on May 22 of 2009 it was reported that Herrera would return to ATWT in August. Herrera returned to the role of Stenbeck on August 6, 2009 and remained a contract player as of April 2010. Herrera also played Mark Galloway in 1974 and 1975 on the same show. From the fall of 1975 to 1977, he played Jack Curtis, a college professor who cheated on his wife, driving her to obesity, on The Young and the Restless, and played Dane Hammond on Loving from 1984–1986 and again in 1990-1991.

Cancer

Herrera was declared in remission in 1999 from mantle cell lymphoma, an aggressive and normally lethal type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He relapsed a year later, but by 2004 had been steadily improving, without treatment, when his immune system was renewed as a result of his receiving a bone-marrow transplant from his brother. In 2005, Herrera wrote a book about his experiences, which he titled The Cancer War. According to his official Facebook page and a tweet from former co-star Martha Byrne, he passed away in Buenos Aires on 21 June 2011. [1]
