1-Wally Kurth

2-Jon Lindstrom

3-Brad Maule (one of the best, his GH exit was one of the most elegant soap deaths ever)

Well, I don't know if any clips of his are still available (videos tend to "disappear" on YT rather quickly) but at one time, they were; and yes, I did watch them.

I watched some just yesterday. And you are right there used to be a lot more. None that I have seen so far are of his best work. He had some great confrontation scenes years ago with Victoria Wyndham and Robin Strasser in which he was superb. I have never seen any of those show up.

Jennifer Finnigan (even though she probably wouldn't be considered a daytime actress anymore)

Jensen Ackles

Just to pick one. Jensen is on SPN, so he's not unemployed.

Ohh and you can't be serious about Steve Wilder.

The male castmembers of Passions

Um, it's not a joke.

wow -- when I read the list of currently unemployed actresses, I found myself nodding in agreement at nearly all of the names (well, the ones I was familiar with)

the men, not so much.

And rather than hurt the feelings of the other posters here, could we start a separate thread listing the daytime actors (and actresses) who most deserve to be unemployed?

Um, it's not a joke.

It was to me.

OK here goes my list for 'unemployed' actors....

the discussion for actresses was meant as one that would help daytime as a whole, (respected, emmy winners, cache names), not just actresses you like personally. Some of the actresses/actors I have listed, I have not personally watched but feel that they would help the industry by being in daytime.
