  • In this episode, Black Hollywood Live hosts Derrial Christon, Jesse Janedy and Courtney Stewart interview special guest Kristoff St. John. St. John portrayed a young Alex Haley in the ABC miniseries Roots: The Next Generations. He also made a small but notable appearance as Booker Brown on the ABC sitcom Happy Days, as well as a boyfriend of Denise Huxtable on an early episode of The Cosby Show. In his first major role, he appeared as Charlie Richmond, Jr. on the CBS sitcom Charlie & Co., along with Flip Wilson, Gladys Knight, and Jaleel White. St. John's first major soap role was Adam Marshall on the NBC soap opera Generations, the first daytime drama to feature a core African American family from its inception. After Generations was cancelled in 1991, he originated the role of Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless, where he continues to appear to this day. A cast member for 20 years, no African American actor has appeared on Y&R more frequently than St. John. In 1992, he won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Y&R. Over the years, he has also won numerous NAACP Image Awards. This interview was recorded May 24th, 2013. 🛍 Shop our closet at Melanin & More: poshmark.com/closet/melaninan...

    The spark went out of his eyes the day his son died and it never returned. He is so happy and upbeat here! I’ll miss you on Y&R Kristoff. I always rooted for you on that Soap. I’m saddened by your death. You left us to soon. RIP Neil. (Kristoff). I’ll never forget you. You and Julian are finally back together and are at peace.

    So eerie to hear him talk about the cast of Y & R missing Jeanne Cooper. Then seeing him become emotional about never really getting to know his mother. 💔

    This the type of tribute young and the restless could have gave him rather than two minutes after 27 years on the show. Thanks YOU Tube

    • @pjmoneybags587
      @pjmoneybags587 Před 5 lety +2

      Y&R will give him a very special tribute in April. Right after his death was too soon for those who actually knew and loved him. He will not be slighted by Y&R, trust & believe.

    Yeah Generations was a good show I wish they would put it back on I wish they would be running do something I would like to see those people again it seem like a black show but he's right it was a white family and a black family that interacted with each other and that's what it was cool show
