The Thom Bierdz interview begins at the 47:00 mark

This week on Dr. Blogstein’s
Radio Happy Hour:
Thom Bierdz may be best known as Phillip Chancellor III on The Young and the Restless, the openly gay character that this openly gay actor returned to play this past May after being off the program for two decades.  But what many of his adoring fans don’t know about him is that his life has all the makings of a soap opera plot.

It had only been a few weeks after he had left his role on the Y&R when his entire world was turned upside down.  His paranoid schizophrenic youngest  brother, Troy, had beaten their mother to death with a baseball bat.

Troy is currently serving a life sentence in a Wisconsin prison.  Mrs. Bierdz had  taken Troy to at least 40 psychiatrists between the time he was 15 and started to act out, and 19, when he killed her.

Thom’s second family tragedy took place in May 2002. This time his other  brother, Craig, committed suicide while in the grips of paranoid depression.  His brother left behind a wife and two young children.

In addition to his acting, Thom has penned his memoirs entitled “Forgiving Troy: A True Story of Murder, Mental Illness and Recovery” and is an artist who’s work been touted by IN Magazine as “the next Warhol” for his prolific and stylistic painting.
