The Bold And The Beautiful's Joshua Hoffman Teases The Reason For RJ's Return

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."
