Former All My Children and The Bold and the Beautiful star Jacob Young took to social media to tease what he is describing as “The Next Act” in his career.
Young, who recently released his film A Murder Between Friends co-starringDynasty star Joan Collins, took to Instagram to post a selfie and a tease for what’s to come. “There are some stories that don’t end when the cameras stop rolling,” the actor wrote.
He then explained that there are moments that “stay with you,” adding that following a day at work, he noticed that those around him were carrying something with them, adding, “in the quiet. In the conversations afterward. In the moments where you realize how many people have been carrying things they were never meant to carry alone.”

Young then explained that he had listened to numerous stories from those he worked with and how they “changed” him. He shared, “Stories about survival, silence, fear, resilience, and the invisible weight people continue to hold long after the moment itself has passed.”
The actor then added that his “next act” is not about creating “headlines or shock value,” but rather “understanding.”
He wants to give a space to “voices that are too often dismissed, doubted, or unheard,” while challenging “all of us to look a little closer at the things we tend to avoid because they make us uncomfortable.”
Young shared how he believes storytelling has the ability to do far more than simply “entertain” audiences, and believes “it can challenge us. Move us. Wake us up. And maybe even help protect people moving forward.”
In his final tease for what’s to come, he added, “This next chapter is deeply personal. And I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve been building. 🎥🎬.”
Young won Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series at the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2002 for his portrayal of Lucky Spencer on General Hospital.
Fans will have to stay tuned to see just what this “Next Act” has in store for Young as he makes his official announcement soon.
