Though he hasn’t portrayed Thomas Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful for a few years, actor Pierson Fodé remains a firm fan favorite, and he has a special milestone to celebrate.

Happy Birthday, Pierson Fodé

He was born on November 6, 1991, in Moses Lake, Washington, which means that this talented performer is turning 32 years old today! Having long known he was destined for the stage and screen, Fodé founded his own production company — Pierced Productions — when he was just 13 years old, through which he produced, wrote, directed, and starred in 20 short films.

After obtaining his Associate of Arts degree, Fodé landed representation through Seattle Talent before signing with Wilhelmina Models. During his modeling days, Fodé received several awards, including Best Fashion Print Photos and Star of the Year.

Between 2013 and 2014, he starred in the online series Storytellers as Blazer. In 2014, Fodé played the lead role in the horror film Indigenous, and the following year, he acted opposite Victoria Justice in the critically acclaimed Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List. He also appeared in five episodes of the Disney sitcom Jessie as Brooks Wentworth III.

During his time with the program, Fodé was nominated for two consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards in the category of Outstanding Younger Actor (2016 and 2017).
