It was back in 1999 when the then 23 year old actor Thad Lackinbill was cast as teened troubled maker J.T Hellstrom on
The Young And The Restless. I remember watching back then and was in lust over the ultra hot Tad and loved his story line with Colleen, the 15 year old daughter of Traci and Brad. 19 years later, Thad is back on the daytime soap, looking as hot as ever for his short return.
Thad has kept busy since leaving Geona City back in 2010 with guest appearances on shows including
Nip/Tuck, Criminal Minds, Law & Order Criminal Intent, Nakita and
Grey's Anatomy. Thad also turned producer, most recently producing
Rebel in the Rye and serving as an executive producer on
La La Land. Thad's return to Y & R also corresponds with his promotion of his most recent film,
12 Strong, a film Thad both produced, and co-starred in alongside Chris Hemsworth.
I haven't seen any of Thad's return to TV, but did see some recent still showing he is looking as hot as I remember. Reading about his return had me searching for some shots from his time on the show. I remember many great images at the time, but sadly wasn't saving images of my Favorite Hunks at the time.
