Thompson watched both TPIR and B&B as a kid.

"As a child wanting to be an actor because of soap operas and actually being on The Bold and the Beautiful was like, 'Wow, I could really get used to doing this.'" he says.

"It would be an amazing and humbling pleasure to be a series regular," adds Thompson. "That would be the ultimate reward."
