Veteran actor Thorsten Kaye chatted about his 2024 Daytime Emmy win for “The Bold and The Beautiful,” and he opened up about Rebecca Budig joining the cast, and he commended co-star Don Diamont. American actress Joy Page (“Casablanca”) once said: “Dream and give yourself permission to envision a You that you choose to be.” This quote applies to Thorsten Kaye.
Most impressive about Kaye is that he is the only performer to be Emmy-nominated in the coveted “Lead Actor” category for his acting work on three different daytime dramas (“Port Charles,” “All My Children,” and “The Bold and The Beautiful”). He has been nominated for an Emmy eight times, and won twice. “This feat feels good,” he admitted.
“To be nominated for ‘Lead Actor’ for my acting work on three different shows is something that probably won’t happen again, because there are only a handful of daytime dramas that are left.” This year, Kaye won his second consecutive Daytime Emmy Award for “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series” for his portrayal of Ridge Forrester in the CBS daytime drama “The Bold and The Beautiful.” On his back-to-back Emmy wins, Kaye said, “Winning this year felt really nice because my daughter, McKenna, was with me.
That was the best! Otherwise, to be honest, I am not a fan of award shows.” “Also, I got to walk through the hotel with McKenna..
. and my daughter got to meet Dick Van Dyke, which was a big deal. He is a lovely gentleman,” K.
