The Young and the Restless Cast Then & Now — See How They’ve Changed!

David Hasselhoff plays Snapper Foster, the oldest son of the Foster family, and a physician who tends to snap at people he disagrees with.

His career launched playing the doctor role in The Young and the Restless in 1975 until 1982 (and then for a few episodes in 2010). He left the show to star in Knight Rider.

Hasselhoff went on to be Guinness World Record’s most watched man on TV, appearing most notably in Baywatch, as well as the film Click and animated film The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie. Aside from that, he made it to Broadway in musicals like Jekyll & Hyde and Chicago.

George Kennedy plays Albert Miller, a father and the faker of his own death.

Before The Young and the Restless, which happened in the year 2003 and then once in 2010, he was best known for portraying “Dragline” in Cool Hand Luke in 1967 and Joe Patroni in the Airport series in 1970.

Kennedy appeared in a few films after his role in the show, and died in 2016 from heart disease.

Paul Walker plays Brandon Collins, the friend, or former lover, or perhaps co-worker of Victoria Newman — it is seriously unknown.

Before his minor role in just one episode of The Young and the Restless in 1992, he wasn’t a big deal but then blew up with teen films She’s All That and Varsity Blues.

Walker gained fame for his portrayal of Brian O’Conner in The Fast and the Furious but died during the filming of Furious 7 in 2013.

Vivica A. Fox plays Stephanie Simmons, a doctor at Genoa City Memorial Hospital who eventually left town (and the show).

She was previously in Days of Our Lives in 1988 and Generations from 1989 until 1991. She then appeared for just a year in The Young and the Restless in 1994.

Afterward, Fox played roles in Independence Day, Set It Off, Kill Bill and Ella Enchanted.

Sean Young plays Meggie Maclaine, the (evil) former barmaid who plotted to kill Victor Newman.

In June 2010, she appeared on The Young and the Restless and lasted through February 2011. Before that, she was in Blade Runner in 1982 and Ace Venture: Pet Detective in 1994.

Young went on to play roles in Star Trek: Renegades in 2013 and Darling in 2015.

Eva Longoria plays Isabella Braña, the mother of Paul Williams and a bit crazy — she tried killing his ex-wife.

She was primarily recognized for her role in The Young and the Restless in 2001 and left in 2003 to pursue much, much bigger things.

Longoria played Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives from 2004 to 2012 and now is an executive producer for the ongoing series Devious Maids. She also has partnerships and dozens of commercials with L’Oréal, Hanes and New York & Co.
