In his later years, Campanella had a prominent role as "Harper Deveraux" on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" from 1987 to 1988, had a recurring role as a doctor in "Beauty and the Beast" (1989–1990), and a recurring role on "The Bold and the Beautiful" from 1996 to 2005.

Rarely a leading man, over a 55-year career of performing character roles, Joseph Campanella became one of the most recognizable faces on television and in films. Thanks, Joe, for all the great performances.
