Two "top" soaps are turning to proven baddies to add some ferocity to their canvases.
The Young and the Restless has tapped no less than Danny Trejo - you know him and have been intimidated by him in any number of big-screen thrillers (
The Devil's Rejects,
From Dusk 'Til Dawn,
Con Air...) - to play a bartender who lends Victor his ear when the tycoon passes through Mexico. Trejo first airs Aug. 11.
At
General Hospital, Vincent Pastore - who is perhaps best known as
The Sopranos' Big "Kitty" (sorry, had to work around the blog's language filter) - is coming on board this October as
doctor
lawyer
business tycoon
firefighter
philanthropist
WSB agent mobster Maximus Giambetti, aka Max and Milo's pop. Pastore is also a part of a new promotional campaign touting daytime television's "unlikely" fans. -
