In a surprising casting move, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS has hired Darius McCrary to play new Malcolm Winters, a role previously played by Emmy winner Shemar Moore.“We are thrilled to have the character of Malcolm back on Y&R,” according to a statement from Maria Bell, the drama’s co-executive producer/head writer. “Malcolm, Neil Winters’ brother, has always been a catalyst to exciting stories. He’s coming back to town to see his brother and to reunite with his biological daughter, Lily Winters, as she fights for her life. Malcolm is a photographer … someone who lives on the edge and who always pushes the envelope.”
McCrary is best known for his role as Eddie Winslow on FAMILY MATTERS. He has signed a multi-year deal to assume the role beginning today. His debut will air on Dec. 29.
