After more than 40 years of playing Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, Eric Braeden is just as dedicated to his career as a soap opera star than ever. The actor is the first guest on CBS’s new podcast Soapy and spoke to hosts Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart about feeling judged for being a soap star in the past.

The conversation began with Rikaart noting, “We’ve talked about the specificity of what we do and I love when I hear actors who have worked in daytime and then, even if they go onto bigger careers in primetime or film, they revere their time in daytime. I don’t love people saying it’s a training ground because I think of it as a professional job.”
