Francisco San Martin, beloved for roles on Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful, passed away at 39. Fans and colleagues remember his talent, charm, and dedication, celebrating the impact he made on daytime television.
Francisco San Martin’s journey from school plays to national television was built on quiet persistence rather than overnight fame. Colleagues remember a man who showed up fully prepared, stayed late to rehearse, and treated every scene partner—veteran or newcomer—with the same respect. On sets for Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful, he was known not just for his layered performances, but for his calm presence during chaotic shooting days, his habit of checking in on others, and his willingness to mentor younger actors who felt overwhelmed.
His death, ruled a suicide at just 39, has forced the industry and his fans to confront what is often hidden behind polished storylines and red-carpet images. Those who worked with him now speak not only of his talent, but of the cost of constant scrutiny, emotional exposure, and relentless schedules. In remembering San Martin, they are also calling for something he quietly offered to others: real support, honest conversations, and the recognition that even the strongest, kindest people can be fighting battles no one sees.
