RICHARD GLEASON IS Y&R'S MATT MILLER

Although playing Victors brother, Matt Miller, is Richard Gleasons first substantial soap role, the actor isnt a newcomer to the genre.

“I actually cut my teeth in New York City on a soap opera called ONE LIFE TO LIVE,” he shares. “It’s emblazoned in my memory because it was my very first professional job. I played a photographer and I had one line that was something like, ‘Over here!’ So it was an auspicious beginning. After that, there was another soap I did called THE DOCTORS, which is long gone, and I played someone’s obscure beau. Then I did a stint on ALL MY CHILDREN. I don’t remember what part I played, but I was mixing it up with Susan Lucci [Erica] at the time. So it’s been a little while since I’ve been on a soap.”
