He was the longest-running African American actor on the legendary soap and was a two-time Daytime Emmy award winner as well as a 10-time nominee for the NAACP Image Awards.
“The news of Kristoff St. John’s passing is heartbreaking,” both CBS Television Network and Sony Pictures Television said in a joint statement on Monday. “He was a very talented actor and an even better person. For those of us who were fortunate enough to work with him on ‘The Young and the Restless’ for the last 27 years, he was a beloved friend whose smile and infectious laugh made every day on set a joy and made audiences love him. On behalf of the ‘Y&R’ cast and crew, CBS and Sony Pictures Television, we offer our heartfelt sympathy to his family and loved ones, especially his two daughters, Paris and Lola.”
