Publish date: 2024-05-07

Actor Joshua Hoffman has been working since 2014 when he played the character "Les" on "Shameless." He's also well-known for playing Rudy Rosales, Talia's good friend who became romantically involved with him, in "Talia in the Kitchen." Now, the 23-year-old has landed the dream part of Ridge "RJ" Forrester Jr. on "The Bold and the Beautiful." Fortunately for the actor, he came on board just as the show had a photoshoot to celebrate its 9,000th episode.

Hoffman told Soap Hub recently that, although he'd been in a snow storm in Big Bear Lake, California, he was able to participate in the audition and won the role. The fans haven't seen RJ for a while, and Hoffman explained that the character has, "Spent a lot of time away [because] he doesn't enjoy the drama going on." 

Hoffman further added that RJ is returning to "The Bold and the Beautiful" for a particular reason, and that he's enjoyed the evolution of his character throughout the show's run. Hoffman went on to say that Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester) has become a mentor to him while working on the soap. He stated that Ridge's actor has "been giving me recommendations, little details about how to work on a soap opera, specifically." He also praised his on-screen mom, Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan) for being "amazing."
