He also briefly starred in classic shows like Lassie, Columbo, Mod Squad, Love, American Style and Adam-12.
In 1977, Allan joined the long-running drama series Days of Our Lives to play Don Craig.
He joined the cast of Santa Barbara in 1986 to star as C.C. Capwell - where he remained until 1993.
Allan joined Fox's Beverly Hills 90210 in 1994 and played Ian Ziering's dad Rush for five years.
He had a brief stint on game-show hosting and held the mic for Celebrity Bowling during the 1970s.
Zering, who played Steve Sanders on Beverly Hills 90210, paid tribute to soap star today.
He wrote on Instagram: "So sad to hear we've lost another 90210 castmate. I had the pleasure of working with Jed Allan from 94 to 99.
"He played Rush Sanders, Steve's father. Such a great guy to work with, he will be missed. #ripjedallan"
Adolfo Larrue Martínez III, who co-stared with Allan on Santa Barbara, posted on Facebook: "Jed Allen walked on today. Along the way in his fantastic acting career, he played Eden’s father –– CC Capwell –– on Santa Barbara.
"His gift was a formidable blend of professionalism and inspiration –– a perennial rock in his preparation and a force of nature once the cameras rolled.
"He was also generous and kind and funny and fierce, and God knows he was beloved by those lucky enough to share a stage with him.
