Details On Irizarry’s New Role!

NBC has confirmed that Vincent Irizarry is, in fact, headed to DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Our friends at TV Line got the scoop that the soap hopper will be creating a new character, Deimos, who has strong ties to the Kiriakis clan.

The actor himself took to Facebook to share his exciting news with his fans. “Finally!” he posted. “I’m able to share with all of you what I’ve been excitedly holding in for over a month now, that I’ve joined all the incredibly talented people in Salem over at DAYS! I honestly couldn’t be happier to be working with such wonderfully gifted people, all of whom who have been so warm and welcoming. I’m equally thrilled to be playing a character I’ve already loved playing these past weeks, with scripts that have been so wonderful, I’m excited each time I open a new one to find out what the writers have in store for me next, and alongside actors I have so much respect for. What a true, absolute pleasure it’s all been!

“Thank you so much, all of you, for your tireless support of me and my work throughout all these years together,” he continued. “I’m truly, truly touched by the overwhelming expressions of kind thoughts and well wishes by so many of you throughout all the social media outlets. As it has been throughout so many times in my life working on shows such as this, because of you all, my cup truly runneth over… Can’t wait to see you all in Salem!”

Iriziarry’s previous soap roles include David Hayward on ALL MY CHILDREN, twins Nick and Lujack on GUIDING LIGHT, David Chow on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and Dr. Scott Clark on SANTA BARBARA. The actor’s DAYS episodes will begin airing in mid-January.
