Eric "Rick" Forrester Jr. is a fictional character from the CBS Daytime soap opera ''The Bold and the Beautiful''. He was introduced and born in 1990 as the son of Brooke Logan and Eric Forrester. Portrayed by several adult actors, he is most recognized as being portrayed by actor Jacob Young, who portrayed the role from 1997 to 1999, and returned on September 26, 2011. Rick is known to being extremely jealous of Ridge Forrester and his relationship with Eric, and Ridge's position at Forrester Creations. He has been known to manipulate those close to his life, and also for seducing Ridge's daughters Phoebe and Steffy Forrester, even going as far as seducing their mother, Dr. Taylor Hayes, in a twisted revenge plot against Ridge. ==Conception and casting== The role was originated by child actor Jeremy Snider, who remained in the role from 1991 to January 1995. The character was aged to a teen with Steve Hartman from playing the role on a recurring basis from December 1995 to December 1997. In December 1997, actor Jacob Young took over the role. He remained in the role of Rick until the fall of 1999, when the actor decided to leave the series. For his portrayal of Rick, he received a Daytime Emmy nomination In 1999 for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series. Following Young's departure, the role was recast with then-unknown actor Justin Torkildsen. During Torkildsen's run, he holds the record for being the longest actor to portray Rick, holding the role from Fall 1999 to November 2006. In December 2006, it was announced that former star of the NBC Daytime series ''Days of Our Lives'', actor Kyle Lowder, known for his five-year portrayal of Brady Black, would join the cast in January 2007. Lowder remained with the series until in January 2011 when it was announced that Lowder and executive producer Bradley Bell had reached a mutual decision to write the character off due to lack of storyline and creative direction. In September 2011, it was confirmed that original adult actor Jacob Young would reprise the role of Rick twelve years after departing the role. Since departing the series, Young went on to portray Lucky Spencer on ABC's ''General Hospital'', and became most recognized as JR Chandler on ''All My Children'', until the serial's end in September 2011. Young first began airing on September 26, 2011.〔〔〔 When asked about how his return happened, Young stated: Though originally intended to be a 13-week engagement, Young agreed to extend his stay. He further confirmed in interviews that he did not go onto the planned online version of ''All My Children'' due to the insecurity it could potentially have job-wise, something he would not have with his return to ''The Bold and the Beautiful''. Following the departure of original cast member Ronn Moss, it was announced that Rick would become the new focal point of the series, becoming the so-called "new Ridge". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rick Forrester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
