When Burgess Jenkins took over the key role of Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless he had some pretty big shoes to fill, but made the part his own.
Before he leaves Genoa City for good, Soap Hub wants to honor Jenkins by sharing these five fun facts about the talented actor.
This North Carolina native was born on October 24, 1973. He attended Lenior-Rhyne University and studied acting at Playhouse West under Robert Carnegie’s guidance.
Jenkins has starred in over 15 films, including the smash hit Remember the Titans. His role as Ray Budds put him on the big screen in a huge way.
Jenkins has also had quite a few TV roles. His breakthrough part on One Tree Hill put him on the map and led to a featured role on Army Wives, which eventually led to Y&R.
Joining Y&R scene as a soap opera rookie offers any actor a challenge. Jenkins had enormous shoes to fill and a new style to learn, but he did both with success.
Jenkins received a nomination as Best Actor at the Boston Film Festival in 2009. The honor was for his part as Bruce Snow in the film In/Significant Others.
