JUST THE FACTS

BIRTHDAY: February 26

HAILS FROM: Staten Island, NY

FAMILY MAN: Rikaart married Robert Sudduth on May 9, 2015 in Hawaii. They welcomed son Montgomery Argo via surrogate on June 12, 2016.

SAY MY NAME: “Like ‘Rick’ and ‘art’. Put them together.

I’ve long since stopped correcting people. Life is short! It gets mispronounced all the time.”

GETTING RESTLESS: Rikaart played Kevin Fisher on Y&R from 2003-17 and won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in 2005.

KEEP IN TOUCH: Rikaart remains close with his Genoa City pals. “Missy [Egan, exchelsea], Melissa Ordway [Abby], Peter [Bergman, Jack], Christian [Leblanc, Michael], Tracey [Bregman, Lauren], Jimmy Freeman [former producer], Matt Kane [publicist], Doug [Davidson, Paul] .... These days with social media, I also keep tabs very easily on everybody else.”

JUST RELAX: “I exercise when I can. I like getting a massage if I can sneak out and find time to do that. Sometimes I just like to drive; that’s something I’ve discovered about myself. Sometimes rather than going to the Starbucks that’s close to my house, I’ll drive 20 minutes away because I can just put a podcast on in the car and zone out. That’s a good way for me to unwind.”
