This week Jacob visits with an old friend and fellow Emmy-Winning actor, Eric Martsolf. Eric Martsolf portrayed Ethan Winthrop on NBC's daytime soap opera Passions from July 2002 (succeeding original portrayer Travis Schuldt) until the series' cancellation in August 2008. Martsolf had auditioned for the role of Ethan before the show began. Before he was cast as Ethan, he was previously on the show for one episode as a cop. He was voted favorite actor on Passions for more than 80 weeks in a row in Soap Opera Digest. Martsolf made his first appearance in the role of Brady Black on Days of Our Lives on November 13, 2008. The character had previously been portrayed by Kyle Lowder until 2005. In 2014, he won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Brady Black. He was nominated again for the same award in 2019. Between 2010 and 2012, Martsolf made three appearances as Marcus Dunne on the teen drama web series Miss Behave, which also featured former Days of Our Lives performers Jillian Clare, Darin Brooks, and Patrika Darbo.
