The Hoff is feeling a little “Restless” again, as he returns to the series that first gave him fame. David Hasselhoff played Dr. William “Snapper” Foster Jr. from 1975-82 on the long-running CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless, and he will be briefly reprising that role on the series this month. Hasselhoff appears on the episodes airing June 15-18, and June 21.
The character of Snapper has been working in London, but returns home to visit his sister, Jill (Jess Walton), and finds himself unexpectedly caught up in a family drama.
“I was so honored to be asked back by the Bell family for a short visit to Genoa City,” says Hasselhoff, “this time with my daughter, Taylor Ann.” (Taylor Ann will be making her daytime debut on June 16, playing a nurse in scenes with her father). “It was surreal and felt like I never left.”
In other Y&R casting, James Clement, who was a contestant on the recent Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, will make his daytime debut on the show June 4, playing a police officer in scenes with Greg Rikaart, Peter Bergman, Eric Braeden and Joshua Morrow.
