The Bold and the Beautiful alum, Pierson Fodé, will join the cast of Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish, starring Jennifer Lopez, Variety reported. He’ll appear alongside industry heavyweights Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Isabel May. Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming thriller, The Last Mrs. Parrish, promises a gripping story of deception and desire. The film follows Amber Patterson, a cunning con artist who sets her sights on the seemingly perfect lives of Daphne and Jackson Parrish.

On the surface, the Parrishes appear to have it all—wealth, beauty, and status. Determined to claim that glamorous life for herself, Amber befriends Daphne while secretly plotting to seduce Jackson. But as she digs deeper into their world, Amber quickly discovers that slipping into Daphne’s shoes is far more dangerous—and complicated—than she ever imagined. There’s no word on who Fodé will be playing as of yet.

Thomas Time

Fodé joined B&B as Thomas Forrester in 2015. He stayed with the show until 2017, when he left to pursue other interests — but the show lured him back six months later for a short storyline arc in 2018. That was his final departure before the role was taken over by Matthew Atkinson, who recently returned to the soap.

The actor earned consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor for his portrayal of Thomas Forrester on B&B in 2016 and 2017. The character returned to town to support Steffy following Aly’s (Ashlyn Pearce) death. During his tenure on the show, Thomas was involved with both Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) and Hope (Annika Noelle). He had a very successful pairing with Sally (Courtney Hope, who won an Emmy last year).

Sally and Thomas’s relationship ended because of the intense rivalry between their families (The Forresters and the Spectras). Sally decided to end the relationship because her grandmother stole designs from the Forrester family and planned to create knock-offs

From Primetime To Film

In 2022, Pierson cemented his place as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors. The twice Emmy-nominated star achieved worldwide recognition with the Netflix and Sony Pictures hit The Man From Toronto, which became the #1 movie on Netflix upon release.

Fodé stars alongside Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson in the action-comedy, playing The Man from Miami, a younger, hotter, and deadlier assassin tasked with finishing Woody Harrelson’s failed mission.

The actor showcased his range on primetime television. He portrayed the complex love interest of General Hospital alum Jake Weary (son of Guiding Light’s Kim Zimmer, who played Reva) on TNT’s hit series Animal Kingdom, and recurred on the second season of Facebook Watch’s comedy series, The Real Bro’s of Simi Valley.

Fodé is staying busy. He has two upcoming projects in pre-production and can next be seen in the true-life college football drama, It’s Time. In this poignant film, Fodé portrays Brad Gaines, who tackles Ole Miss defensive back Chucky Mullins—a 1989 play that left Mullins paralyzed—bringing a compelling real-life story to the big screen.
