Someone new has just recently joined the cast of the "Young & The Restless". He is actor Michael Gross.
Many fans may remember Michael Gross best as playing the dad to the character Alex Keating (actor Michael J. Fox) on the comedy show "Family Ties" several years ago. Or perhaps from playing the role of the crusty, but lovable character of Bert Gummer in the movies "Temors", "Tremors 2-Aftershocks", "Tremors 3-Back To Perfection", "Tremors 4-The Legend Begins", and "Tremors", the TV series.
That's a lot of "Tremors"! I'm wondering when the next one will be!
Anyway, he had a great line on the soap, Y&R today. He and another character were talking. The other character was playing the role of his ex-wife. I believe they were supposedly "hippies" in their younger days and got married, as the story goes, or something along those lines. Today they were talking about what they wanted to name their son who was born years ago. She said something about him wanting to name their son "Kal-El" (of Superman fame), I think it was, and then he spoke up and said something along the lines of "Atleast, it wasn't Gandalf" (Lord Of The Rings). It was a cute and funny line.
And, by the way, the son was named " Michael ".
I'm not sure how long he will be on this soap, but it's good seeing him again. He's a very fine actor. Check it out, if you get a chance.
