All Saints actor Mark Priestley has been found dead.
Media reports claim that the 32-year-old, who played nurse Dan Goldman, suffered from depression.
A Channel Seven statement described Priestley as "a tremendous young person - loved and respected by his fellow All Saints cast members and crew."
Seven's director of programming and production Tim Worner said Priestley was a brilliant artist.
"His work on stage and screen was admired by everybody who knew him," he said.
"His death is such a sad loss. We at Channel Seven will miss his energy and smile.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark's family and friends."
Priestley was born in Perth and wanted to become an actor from an early age, according to the All Saints website.
He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1999.
His television credits include miniseries Changi, The Secret Life Of Us and Blue Heelers.
He first appeared on All Saints in July 2004.
He had also worked with the Bell Shakespeare Company and the Sydney Theatre Company.
