Michael Roark is joining the cast of Peacock’s “Days of our Lives” in an as-yet-to-be-announced character, it was announced on Monday.
First reported by The Buzz as a rumor, the casting news was later confirmed by Soap Opera Digest, with a show spokesperson saying, “Yes, Michael Roark has been taping but won’t be seen on-air until the first week of October. No comment about the role he is playing nor the storyline in which he is involved. Stay tuned!”
Soap fans will remember Roark for his role as Travis Crawford on “The Young and the Restless” in 2016, where he was romantically involved with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), whom he met after she began frequenting his bar, Hank’s Dive Bar. He later became an employee of Newman Enterprises, though the job didn’t last after several of his lies became public.
Other credits for Roark include appearances in episodes of such shows as “9-1-1” and “NCIS: Los Angeles,” as well a starring role as Colton Donavan in the Passionflix original series “Driven,” which also featured “Days of our Lives” star Charles Shaughnessy (Shane Donovan) and alum Casey Diedrick (ex-Chad DiMera). The series ran for just three seasons and produced 16 episodes.
Roark currently stars in the Passionflix original “The Black Dagger Brotherhood,” a six-episode series which premiered earlier this month and is based on the paranormal romance books by author J. R. Ward.
