Hard work does pay off. Two years after joining the cast of The Young and the Restless in the recurring role of JT Hellstrom, Thad Luckinbill has been put on contract.
The bump up to contract status comes as Luckinbill has found additional success outside of daytime. The actor recently wrapped up work on an episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and is schedule to begin filming a part in the feature film Just Married.
A show spokesperson declined comment, explaining that it is not network policy to comment on contracts.
