Thom Bierdz: “I love my life!”

http://www.tvguidemagazine.com/images/uploads/2009/07/4738.soaps_lg_thom_bierdz.jpgGot a nice, upbeat email from Thom Bierdz that I want to share part of with you.

As you know, Thom is part of a remarkable storyline on the daytime soap The Young and the Restless that has him back on the show after a 20-plus years absence.

Not only does Thom return as an openly gay actor, but his character of Phillip Chancellor III is also gay. He appears in today’s episode which is probably airing PST right about now. Sorry if you didn’t set the DVR!

“My return to The Young and the Restless playing Phillip Chancellor/Phillip Langley is going great,” Thom writes. “How grateful I am to have so much support in my life and career…. I love my life!”

The Human Rights Campaign will honor Thom with their Visibility Award in Minneapolis on September 12 and he will join the Y&R cast at the annual fan dinner in Sherman Oaks on the 28th.

Also: Forgiving Troy, his deeply moving memoir about his family and his mother being murdered by his mentally ill brother, has been picked up by a national distributor so should get even wider exposure. You will not be able to put it down.
Thom is on the cover of the current issue of The Bottom Line, the Palm Spring gay mag that I always enjoy reading poolside. For more info on what he’s up to, go to www.ThomBierdz.com .

One Remark

  1. Having met Thom recently I find him to be a remarkable human being, artist, advocate and one heck of a handsome man inside and out.
