Three-time Daytime Emmy nominee Benjamin Hendrickson (Hal Munson) is back at work on As the World Turns.
The reason for Hendrickson's temporary exit were not revealed, however, this was not the first time that the actor took such a leave. In July 2001, James Kiberd (ex-Trevor Dillon, All My Children) subbed for Hendrickson. It was stated then that Hendrickson was sidelined by a "medical emergency." This time around, however, Kiberd was not approached by the show to sub for Hendrickson.
Hendrickson is expected back on-screen on June 6th.
