The Bold and the Beautiful started spring with a literal bang, and now everyone is scrambling to solve the mystery of who shot Bill (Don Diamont). The juicy story is just heating up, as evidenced by the arrival of the soap's new cop Alex Sanchez, played by Jeremy Ray Valdez.
Sanchez has already shown he's a no-nonsense detective, and Valdez confirms it in his latest interview.
"He is determined to find the culprit and get to the bottom of this mystery, no matter what," he tells Soap Opera Digest. "He doesn't pull any punches."
So now that viewers know what to expect from Sanchez, here's what fans might expect from Valdez: talent. The Santa Fe native has a long list of prior credits including The Mentalist, Castle, Longmire, The Closer, NCIS, and the TV mini-series The Rookie: CTU.
