Eric Braeden Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Billy Miller
Eric Braeden, who plays Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, took to social media tonight to pay heartfelt tribute to the late Billy Miller, who played Billy Abbott on Y&R and passed away on Friday, September 15, two days shy of his 44th birthday. Miller worked with Braeden on Y&R from 2008 – 2014.
On Twitter Braeden posted, “We lost BILLY MILLER! It saddens me deeply! He was a very gifted actor! Amelia(Victoria) and I took him to dinner one evening while he was in tough negotiations, and I remember telling him to reconsider, because rarely is an actor given a part that describes him almost perfectly, and to not make the mistake I had seen some actors make over my 60’years in the business, that they are indispensable! Once an actor thinks that or is told that by some sycophants, they step onto a slippery road…usually to oblivion!
“BILLY BOY” was not only a damn good actor but a nice man! May he rest in peace and meet up with KRISTOFF in the BEYOND, ‘the undiscovered country from whose bourn no Traveller returns “ and tell each other jokes! They were both loved by their colleagues!”
