‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ Star Scott Clifton Talks Pet Adoption; How Bob Barker Helped Grow His Passion For Animal Rescue
Scott Clifton (“The Bold and the Beautiful”) has been an advocate of pet adoption for several years, dating back to when he met Bob Barker, the former host of “The Price is Right.” In celebration of his appearance on the Wednesday, April 26 episode of the daytime game show, Clifton reminisces on how much of an impact Barker made on his life and his passion for animals.
In 2014, “The Bold and the Beautiful” featured a storyline where Liam Spencer (Clifton) rescues a cat that he gave to his then-girlfriend, now wife, Hope Logan (played by Kim Matula at the time; now played by Annika Noelle). The storyline incorporated Liam and Hope visiting the South Los Angeles Animal Service Center with episodes featuring Barker along with Brandon McMillan, the then host of CBS’ “Lucky Dog.”
Now, years later, Clifton tells us, “Bob Barker was one of the most impressive people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting during my tenure at ‘Bold & Beautiful.’” He added, “I remember listening to him speak extemporaneously, in the makeup chair, about pet adoption, fostering, spaying and neutering, and his broader philosophy of animal ethics. It was provocative and inspiring, and made me hope for the chance to help further his noble project, even in the smallest way.”
