'After Forever' Receives Special Recognition From GLAAD Media Awards

The GLAAD Media Awards announced After Forever is one of eight recipients of their Special Recognition Awards. Co-Creator Kevin Spirtas shares, “After Forever is honored to receive this special recognition from GLAAD. As an independently produced series featuring a story about love and loss for gay men over 50, we enthusiastically share the mission of honest LGBTQ portrayals in the media. This award could not have come at a more sensitive time for us, after losing my co-creator/writing partner, Michael Slade, to cancer just prior to the New Year. Our desire to continue telling these stories is now stronger than ever.”

'Days of our Lives' Alum Kevin Spirtas Joins 'Winterthorne' as Dominic Delacort

Kevin Spirtas has been tapped to play Dominic Delacort in the new online series, Winterthorne. The character is described as a major player within the family. Dominic has been charged by the Winterthorne women to train their husbands and future husbands in the art of making candy. There is a sense of wonder within him alongside a sense of true bitterness for being controlled by them.

"Kevin is a wonderful actor,” says series creator and Emmy nominee Michael Caruso, “And I think what struck me about him as perfect for the part of Dominic is the sense of mischievousness he possesses. Dominic is a character that has been put in a very specific position of power by the Winterthorne women, and yet he's powerless at the same time and we really see him struggle with that."

"Kevin is not only a delightful person, but an incredibly talented actor,” adds series star Martha Madison, “I loved watching him play the devious character of Craig Wesley on Days! He made it fun to root for the bad guy!"
