German-American actor Eric Braeden is best known for his portrayal of Victor Newman on the daytime soap The Young and the Restless, a role he has been playing for the past twenty years.

Eric came to America and his teens and worked, among other jobs, as a cowherd before he began his acting career as a Nazi soldier in the 1961 movie Operation Eichmann.

Over the years he has appeared in dozens of TV shows and movies, including the highly regarded sci-fi flick Colossus: The Forbin Project, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, and Titanic.

Eric has also served with Henry Kissinger on the German-American Advisory Board, won an Emmy, got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and received a Federal Medal of Honor from the president of Germany.

Eric is the star and executive producer of the new revenge western The Man Who Came Back, now out on DVD. He recently spoke over the phone to C.G. Hilliard about his new movie, Carol Alt, Sophia Loren, and naked soap stars.

Nip/Tuck premiered on cable's FX network on this date in 2003.

Controversy greeted the show from its first episode, which seemed to only make Nip/Tuck get more provocative.
