Another Black Panther alum, Chadwick Boseman has also appeared on All My Children. In fact, he was the original guy cast to play Reggie. He played that role for a few episodes before being replaced by Michael B. Jordan.
You would expect that both Jordan and Boseman would be asked about this interesting parallel in their careers but the truth is that they have both been reluctant to talk about it. Great job not making people curious, guys.
Hayden Panettiere
Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere started acting as a child actress, and much of her screen time as a kid was in soap operas. She spent three years on the set of One Life to Live playing little Sarah Roberts, but that doesn't conclude her entire soap opera career.
Her next soap opera part was a two-year-long stint as Lizzie Spaulding in Guiding Light. She then started focusing on a film career and went back to TV, though she hasn't been seen in another soap opera since.
Brittany Snow
This blue-eyed blonde is not only a great actress, but she can also sing. In 1998 she started playing Susan Lemay (AKA Daisy) in the soap opera Guiding Light. She even won a Young Artist Award for that role.
Snow later went on to act in TV shows and films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise and Hairspray, which gave her a chance to prove her vocal cords’ worth.
Susan Sarandon
One of Hollywood’s favorite actresses, Susan Sarandon has definitely made her mark in the industry. Aside from acting, she’s been involved in social and political causes. Now, Susan has won numerous Academy Awards and BAFTA Awards, which must be on display in a huge trophy case somewhere.
Sarandon’s early career includes two years in the soap opera industry. In 1971 you could find her playing the role of Patrice Kahlman in A World Apart. The year after that, she appeared as Sarah Fairbanks in the daytime soap Search for Tomorrow.
Ryan Phillippe
This handsome fella had his breakthrough role as Billy Douglas in the soap opera One Life to Live, and it wasn’t long until he had many other on-screen appearances.
Phillippe is also interested in martial arts and has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. That sounds like a good thing to have around.
