Roger Howarth<\/strong> has officially joined the cast of The Young and the Restless <\/em>as back-from-the-dead Matt Clark. The fan-favorite actor recently opened up about what he enjoys most about playing the complex new role.<\/p>\n In a video shared on the official The Young and the Restless <\/em>Instagram account, Howarth spoke about his new character. \u201cI love a character that has a secret and he is not who he says he is,\u201d he shared. On-screen, Matt has returned to the show under the assumed identity of Mitch Bacall.<\/p>\n Continuing in the Instagram video, Howarth, added, \u201cThere\u2019s a complexity to it, there\u2019s a self-centered arrogance to him, that is just so fun and there\u2019s kind of no limit to the kind of destruction somebody like him is capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n The Daytime Emmy winning actor, known for his memorable roles on One Life to Live, As the World Turns and General Hospital, went on to share, \u201cThis is a nice experience for me. I feel really lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac<\/strong> SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n Fans took to the comment section on the Instagram post to share their excitement for Howarth\u2019s arrival, one user wrote, \u201cRoger Howarth is perfect for this because he can take what under a different performer could be a very one note role and draw out the complexities of the character\u201d<\/p>\n While a second fan shared their fears with the storyline being short-term, writing, \u201cMy only issue with this storyline is this feels like the character is temporary, for November sweeps. Roger is much too good of an actor to be temporary. I would love to have him be a long-term contract character.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a third viewer excitedly added, \u201cIt\u2019s so fun seeing Roger Howarth playing bad guys because he\u2019s so very good at it and we get to see the why behind the things they do and makes them the most interesting characters. Hopefully he\u2019ll be around for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n The Young and the Restless<\/em> airs weekdays on CBS and streams weeknights on Paramount+.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Nov 8, 2025, where it first appeared in the TV<\/a> section.
