People Magazine announced its 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive” during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Over the years, many famous men, including a former soap star, have graced the cover.

Soap’s Sexiest Men Alive

The only ex-daytime soap actor ever named People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” was All My Children alum Michael B. Jordan, who took the title in 2020. His post-soap career has included Black Panther, the Creed movies, and 2013’s Fruitvale Station.

Although technically, Brad Pitt did appear in two episodes of Another World back in 1987. Apparently, it was his first speaking role on TV. Pitt would go on to achieve Holywood A-List status and be named “Sexiest Man Alive” twice — in 1995 and 2000.

However, a number of soap stars have appeared in the issues over the years. The Young and the Restless star Shemar Moore was featured in the 2017 issue. He famously told his mom that he’s “still got it.

10 Celebrities Who Started as Background Actors - Main Image

The journey to stardom is not an easy one. While some celebrities are fortunate enough to be born into the business, others must work tirelessly to climb the ladder of success.

In fact, many of today's most famous stars began their careers as extras in television shows or movies, often just passing by as vague silhouettes in the background—so unrecognizable that you might be surprised to learn they were ever there.

Every actor has a story to tell, many of which come from humble beginnings that can be truly inspiring.

After all, nobody starts at the top, and becoming a great actor doesn’t happen overnight. With that in mind, here are ten celebrities who started as background actors, and their journeys might just surprise you.

1. Brad Pitt

Many may know Brad Pitt as Hollywood royalty, but his journey to stardom began much more modestly.

Leviathans, Vampires, Archangels, and Lucifer, oh my! The hit horror series Supernatural ran for 15 seasons, first on the WB and then on the CW. One of the show’s leads had soap opera roots.

Amy Lewis returned to Genoa City to drop a bombshell on Nate (Sean Dominic) on The Young and the Restless.

The character has Y&R fans wondering who she is, and for good reason, since Amy (Valarie Pettiford) has been off the canvas for decades.

Nate has been involved in a mystery surrounding a woman from his father, Nathan Hastings’ (Nathan Purdee) past, for weeks.

In light of the news that All My Children is potentially being rebooted as a holiday movie on Lifetime, Soap Hub reached out to a few of your favorite Another World alums to see their thoughts about the potential to bring their show back.

Aw History

Aw aired on NBC from May 4, 1964, to June 25, 1999. The show also had two spinoffs: Somerset, which aired from 1970-1976, and Texas, which aired from 1980-1982.

Joe Barbara (Joe)

How would you feel about Aw being rebooted as a movie? I’d love to see the show rebooted as a movie. My first question would be who’s going to write it? Which “Joe Carlino” would they have in mind… the original one who came on as a renegade and took risks? Or the eventual one who told everyone they needed to follow the rules…?

Where do you see Joe at this stage of his life?...

The October 2 episode of Chicago Med featured a pregnant patient who must have looked familiar to daytime fans. Days of Our Lives viewers who are also fans of the Chicago One franchise probably spotted Marci Miller. The actress played a character with physical and mental health issues.

Ex-Daytime Star on Primetime

Marci Miller (ex-Abigail Dimera) must have channeled her Days character for this primetime role. It all started when emergency room doctors at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center tended to her injuries after she fell down the stairs.

However, as Dr. Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram) attempted to treat her, it was apparent that the pregnant woman had more issues that were not exactly physical. As a result, Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt), the hospital’s resident psychiatrist, had to be called in to assess her.

Read This: Here’s what’s happening on Days this week.

Crew Morrow, the latest addition to The Bold and the Beautiful cast, has stepped into some pretty tangled stories as the Soras’d Will Spencer. Bearing more than a striking resemblance to his father, Joshua Morrow, who has played Nick on The Young and the Restless for thirty years, the actor has already shown an admirable level of confidence on screen.

Movies and Soaps

The younger Morrow has a couple of films under his belt, including the disaster movie Continental Split (2024), with One Life to Live alum Jessica Morris (Jennifer Rappaport) and Chris Bruno, who appeared on soaps such as All My Children and Another World. The busy star also has a war film called 24 Hours to D-Day, appearing with veteran actor Eric Roberts.

In light of the news that All My Children is potentially being rebooted as a holiday movie on Lifetime, Soap Hub reached out to a few of your favorite Guiding Light alums to see their thoughts about the potential to bring their show back.

Gl History

Gl aired on CBS from June 30, 1952, to September 18, 2009. Before that it was broadcast on the radio from January 25, 1937, and June 29, 1956. It aired on both CBS and on the radio from 1952-1956. Keep reading to see what they had to say!

Beth Chamberlin (Beth)

How would you feel about Gl being rebooted as a movie? I would love it. There is the selfish reason that I would get to see and work with my wonderful friends on the show. There is also the knowledge of the joy that would bring to long-time viewers. People rarely understand the unique aspect of these long-running series. They provided a touch point between generations.

One Life To Live spoilers and updates wonder if Oltl is coming back like All My Children is? It was recently announced by the Lifetime Network that they are bringing back All My Children as a series of Christmas movies.

One Life To Live Spoilers – AMC Fans Are Excited

Fans of soap operas are thrilled about the news surrounding Lifetime’s potential revival of All My Children; but what about other canceled favorites like One Life To Live and Another World? Keep reading to discover the possibilities of these shows returning to our screens.

The idea of characters coming back from the dead is a hallmark of soap operas, making the current discussions about All My Children’s revival feel especially appropriate.

The show, along with One Life To Live, was axed in 2011 to make way for an afternoon talk show and a cooking series, neither of which enjoyed much success.

Young and the Restless (Y&r) spoilers indicate a familiar name is set to return to the land of Genoa City, with an unfamiliar face.

Deadline is reporting that the soap is bringing back the role of Amy Lewis, a character that debuted decades ago in 1983 and eventually exited in 1988.

Lewis was originally played by Stephanie E. Williams, but the daytime drama has recast the part, and Valarie Pettiford will enter the role.

Y&r Spoilers: Amy Lewis’s Return Airdate Confirmed

Y&R spoilers note that fans should gear up for a fall return. According to the report, Pettiford’s first day as Amy Lewis will take place on Tuesday, October 29.

Lewis will be a recurring character on the show, so it’ll be interesting to see what brings her back to the little town.

In fact, Lewis’s return is a tad perplexing as most of the people...

Amy Lewis will soon be back on The Young and the Restless. However, she’s going to look a bit different this time around.

A New Look For Amy

Deadline reported that Y&R cast Valarie Pettiford as Amy Lewis on a recurring basis. Soap fans will recognize Pettiford from her time from 1990 to 1994 as Sheila Price on One Life to Live. She started in daytime as Dr. Courtney Walker on Another World.

In 1983, Stephanie E. Williams debuted Amy in Genoa City. Longtime soap fans know that it’s been three decades since Amy Lewis was on the canvas. When she was there, she worked as a receptionist at Paul (Doug Davidson — who told Soap Hub about his Y&r exit) and Andy’s (Steven Ford) firm. Williams left Y&r in 1998, and she went to General Hospital where she portrayed Dr. Simone Hardy.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time...

More Information About All My Children Revival

Coming back from the dead is a storyline staple of soap operas. So, it’s rather fitting that there are once again talks of bringing All My Children back to life. The ABC soap was canceled in 2011 to make room for more afternoon talk shows, which were cheaper to produce.

The beloved soap had a brief resurrection online but streaming wasn’t popular yet, so it only lasted a few months. Actress Susan Lucci, who starred as Erica Kane for 40 years, almost made an appearance on General Hospital but it never happened.
