The Young and the Restless star Jermaine Rivers shared some of his secrets. He revealed what’s key to nailing his role as Damian Kane. And nailing it, he has been. Fans love the complexity of his character as he reconnects with his mom and brother.
The Key
Rivers shared his acting secrets on X, formerly Twitter. He revealed how he approached his role and how shows like Y&R granted this “opportunity.” Rivers is growing into his alter ego. “The best thing about Soaps is that it gives actors the opportunity to learn into and grow their character over decades,” Rivers wrote.
It comes down to a simple word: patience. The key is to see how this story will develop and how Damian himself will grow and evolve from it. “Great stories take time to evolve, so Patience is a virtue…” he continued. “Feeling really blessed to have the opportunity to bring Damian Kane to life.”
Rivers rounded up his post with photos of himself playing Damian on Y&R. In each photo, Damian sits down for some difficult conversations with Nate (Sean Dominic) and Amy Lewis (Valerie Pettiford). Their relationship will continue to go through ups and downs as Damian questions Amy’s ulterior motive. This will likely cause friction between him and Nate.

Y&R fans took Rivers’ post to share their thoughts. One asked, “Can we keep Valerie? I got a little choked up when she was going for a nap and told BOTH men… ‘Love y’all.” Another fan returned the praise, commenting, “Love having you on this soap. You’re a great addition.”
