Adam Sandler has honored Alec Musser following the untimely death of the actor.
The 50-year-old actor made a lasting impact on both fans and colleagues during his stint on the enduring daytime television series, All My Children, in 2005.
Securing the role, Musser emerged victorious in the second season of the SOAPnet original series, I Wanna Be a Soap Star, subsequently gracing the television screens for a two-year tenure.
Although the departed actor’s professional career comprised only six credits, he made a lasting impact on audiences through memorable roles, including Friedrich in Desperate Housewives, the “Water Park Stud” in the 2010 comedy movie Grown Ups, and appearances in Road to the Altar, Rita Rocks, and The Phantom Executioner.

According to TMZ, the soap star met a tragic end, passing away from an undisclosed cause at his residence in Del Mar, California.
Expressing her devastation, Musser’s fiancée, Paige Press, shared the heart-wrenching news with the publication. The actor’s uncle also confirmed his passing. However, specific details about the circumstances leading to his death have not been disclosed.
Upon learning of his passing, Adam Sandler, who had collaborated with the actor on Grown Ups, conveyed a heartfelt message to his former co-star on Instagram. Sandler included a poignant message along with a picture of Musser from the notable film.
The 57-year-old expressed his shock and fondly reminisced about Musser, stating, “I loved this guy. Cannot believe he is gone. Such a wonderful, funny, good man. Thinking of Alec Musser and his family and sending all my love. A true great sweetheart of a person.”
In the past few years, Musser has stepped back from Hollywood, redirecting the central focus of his career towards becoming a fitness model. He consistently stayed engaged on social media, frequently sharing updates about his dynamic lifestyle and fitness endeavors.
The deceased celebrity adorned the covers of notable men’s magazines, including Men’s Health and Men’s Workout. His extraordinary physique and modeling accomplishments garnered significant acclaim, prompting actor Channing Tatum to recreate one of Alec’s iconic magazine covers as part of the promotional activities for his film “Dog.”
Musser graciously acknowledged Tatum’s tribute, conveying his gratitude on social media: “Thank you, [Channing Tatum]. ‘Dog’ movie. Imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery. Calle nailed this pose in about 4 frames on a Max Fitness cover shoot. In the midst of a lighting change phenomenon, fitness photographer Corey Sorenson suggested, ‘grab your dog for a few,’ and thus, the illustrious career of [Calle the Superstar] was born.”
The last Instagram post from the Desperate Housewives actor was posted four days ago, featuring a tranquil image of the late actor surfing. The caption for the picture read: “Silhouette by Baja Winter twilight.”
Numerous supporters and companions have now turned to the comment section to convey heartfelt tributes to the committed bodybuilder and extend their condolences to his loved ones.
“Rest in peace, Brother Alec… We will surf together again, my friend. May God bless you in your new adventure in heaven. Sending prayers and love to the family,” expressed photographer John Watkins. Another person shared their disbelief, saying, “I’m in shock, brother. You were a dear friend and will always be remembered. Enjoy those perfect heavenly waves and powder runs.”
A third individual chimed in, saying, “May his family discover comfort and peace amidst this truly devastating loss. He was so young.”
