Christian LeBlanc – Michael Baldwin
Save a four-year hiatus from 1993 to 1997, Christian LeBlanc (no relation to Friends actor Matt LeBlanc) has played Genoa City lawyer Michael Baldwin on The Young and the Restless since 1991. Baldwin, a character with a very complicated family history, prosecutes some of the town’s most high-profile cases. In real life, LeBlanc supplements his soap opera earnings with occasional crossover cameos on Guiding Light and its spinoff Venice: The Series. Christian LeBlanc has also appeared on the Showtime softcore drama Red Shoe Diaries. He has won three Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
