Mishael Morgan was studying Political Science at York University when she changed course and decided to pursue acting. Her star has been on the rise ever since. She quickly landed a role in the Trey Songz "Wonder Woman" music video, and a series regular role as Tracy Dupont-Roymont in YTV's
Family Biz. She has appeared in television shows such as
Beauty & The Beast and
Supernatural, and in films like
Casino Jack and
Total Recall. She can currently be seen in
Dark Rising: Warrior of Worlds, and her new movie
Swearnet premieres on September 12th. In May 2013 she joined the cast of CBS daytime drama
The Young and the Restless as Hilary Curtis, a young woman seeking revenge for her mother's death. These days, Hilary is involved in a frontburner love triangle with Neil (Kristoff St. John) and his son, Devon (Bryton James).
Serial Scoop recently caught up with Morgan to discuss her career and starring role in
Y&R. Read our exclusive interview below.
SERIAL SCOOP: You’ve been on
The Young and the Restless for over a year now. How have you adjusted to being a soap star?
MISHAEL MORGAN: I think I’ve adjusted quite well, I believe. It’s really interesting when fans come up. Bryton and I were having dinner one night after work and a fan came up to us, and she was so excited about the show. She told us this amazing story about how her husband, who is a stockbroker, has all of these screens on with sports and stocks and markets, and he has one screen on with
Y&R for her because she comes in and out, and he leaves it on for her. She asked him how his day was going, and he replied, "Everything is going good, but did you see what is going on with Hilary and Devon?" It was so funny. It’s just so amazing that we impact peoples lives like that. I think I’m kind of getting used to that. It’s flattering and it's an honor and a blessing. I’m part of such an amazing cast and crew. I can’t even believe I'm on
The Young and the Restless. I’ve been watching it my whole life. I was sitting there last night, and I remember looking up at the stage across at the Newman Ranch set. And I thought, "I am really on
The Young and the Restless. This is insanity."
