Soaps.com readers who notice the new character, Roger, on The Young and the Restless this week, might be wondering where they know that familiar face from!

Actor David Leisure is a very well-known actor who is infamous for his alter-ego, Joe Isuzu, from the highly successful car commercials. However, others will remember him from his days as Charlie Dietz on Empty Nest and Golden Girls.

David has appeared in dozens of Primetime television series, as well numerous movies. Perhaps you saw him as Mr. Chapin in 10 Things I Hate About You with the late Heath Ledger, or as a zany religious zealot in the Airplane films. Have you seen The Brady Bunch Movie? He was in that too!

Most recently, David has done Teed Off and Teed Off Too, which are golfing videos.

Hope that helped jog your memories, Soaps.com readers! Help give David, and his character Roger, a welcome to the show.

They are getting ready to scam Jill. Cane is not who he seems and Roger isn't as well. It is time for some new stuff. End the storyline with Cane and Chloe. Bring Gloria to justice and give Mrs C her memory. I was wondering when someone would suggest a DNA test. Micheal comes to the rescue once again. Pleassssssssssse stop Lily from making a fool out of herself once again. She is desperate for a man. Give her one that will last. She is sleeping around just like The Logans on Bold and The Beautiful. Give me a break. Phyliss is showing her true colors. She has committed murder stole children change DNA test and is still standing.She took Nick from Sharon, Sharon should give her a run for her money. Make it interesting and let Sharon win thhis time. Phyliss is not as tough as she seems. Give Sharon the upper hand for once. Give us some drama between those two. The same old story line is getting too boring. Click it up a Notch!!!!

I really don't care what they are getting ready to do . . . just do it. Y & R is getting really boring as of late. You can miss a whole week and come back and the same thing is going on! Give Katherine her memory back and let her, Murphy and Amber take down Jill. Stop letting Nick be so passive with Phyllis and put him back with Sharon. Phyllis deserves Jack. They are so deserving of each other and it would serve Phyllis right to get just what she gave. She took Nick when he was at his lowest now let Sharon get hime back. Oh and by the way what happened to Summer getting sick and Nick and Noah's blood type didn't match? Jack's the father! You guys at Y& R need to get that storyline back. Read it a while back in previews when are you going to follow through? Stop the maddness with Lily Why are you making her slutty? Let her and Cain get back together and the truth about the baby come out. Once again Cloe/whatever her real name is need to be with Billy (are you sure Billy and Chloe are not Jack and Phyliss's kids! Come on Victor and Ashley. . . Give me a break. Ashley needs a storyline and it is not Victor. Find someone else for her and stop making her look so desperate for love. As far as the new Abby. . . oh my God. She is such a arrogant girl who needs a good swift kick you know where. She should have been Chloe's sister. Send her back to boarding school or wherever she came from. Do not like her character as of yet. Love the new Eden. She fits the part. I love her with Noah but Noah is a little bratty to but that is age appropriate behavior. Gloria well let's just say give her some prison time. She has gotten away with to much and need to pay. Send her husband away because he has served his purpose. Nicki and Paul awful combination. Nicki looks like she could be his mother. Let Paul find a new love interest cause Nicki will always belong to Victor. Kevin and Jana I like them. Jana balances Kevin out. I was a little worried when the money situation came up but I am glad Kevin did the right thing. He will be rewarded by Ms. Chancellor eventually (without Gloria's help) Michael is a good person but needs to concentrate on his family and stop cleaning up the messes of his mom and brother. They reck havock in his life. I can't begin to tell you how many time I kept screaming at the TV for a DNA test to Catherine. Bravo Michael. Get it done fast and stop dragging this out and finally poor little Adam . . . maybe he has learned his lesson. I liked him with Heather before he got Victor Newman Jr. crazy. We need to give him a little break if for nothing else for his dead mother's sake. Yes he got con'd by the best Jack Abbott and Jack needs to pay. Sharon needs to bust Jack out before Nick and the family find out she know that Jack is responsible. Don't let Sharon become a Phyllis. Sharon has always done what is right so let that continue. Oh did I forget Brad. . . It is time for him to go. No one else in the story for him to manipulate or use. I guess I;ve written what was on my mind and I hope the writer's at Y & R take these suggestions to heart. I stopped watching Bold and Beautiful just for the same reason boring and got tired of everyone sleeping with the same person. Please don't make me have to stop watching Y & R. Get it back to being interesting. Thanks for listening.

i guess this will be canes uncle huh?

AWW please don't let Cane turn out to be a bad guy!!! He is the main reason I watch the show. Daniel Goddard is uberfine. I love Cane's character! But i remember that one episode where Cane was on the phone with someone talking about scamming or something...i thought they dropped that storyline....guess not!

welcome to the land of soaps, mr david leisure. you'll come to know us posters well. we will either love you or hate you. i try to stay neutral, but at times my finger gets the better of me. hope you are here to cause a little trouble, we like a little spice in our men! as before, welcome

I agree that Cane should't turn out to be a bad guy - please keep him the way he is and let this David Leisure guy be working for someone else. I don't agree that Nick should be back with Sharon. Leave him and Phyllis alone!!! They are fabulous together - incredibly sexy couple and now they have Summer - please let them be. Miss "goody two shoes" Sharon needs to be paired up with someone else and leave Nick the heck alone!!!!

Welcome Roger to the show. It is good to see new character display their gift of acting. Wish you well.

?. What do you think Roger os up to, trying to get close to Chanellors?

This appears to be a repeat with Esther and a man friend on the show. The first one was bad ande Mrs. C had to disolve that for her and it end tredgetly. Now another misjudgement in character...please do not have Esther looking so dense; she is a very intelligent person. It is clear that money is involve her or so it appears to the viewers, but there could be a hidden motive here that the writers are slowly unfolding. Just maybe it is someone to help Ester with Jill so she can stop downing Esther every chance she gets. And very soon Mrs. C will regain her memory and she then can stand up for Ester as always. Please do not let all of the characters coming on the show protraying the"Bad Guy".

I agree, I wish something would soon happen! Ms. C is going to get everything back as we all know... which i cant wait for... so then everyone will go back to the way they were...
As for Chloe... i wish she would get exactly what she deserves.. Nothing! Its coming... but when is the question?
Amber... hello.... drama queen... im glad she finally gave up on the "kevin, you killed Ms. C" I mean really give me a break!
Sharon i think needs to leave Nick and Phylis alone.... get your own life and stop running to Nick everytime you need something... they need to find someone else for her.... Phyllis is soooo right about her.... " oh poor sharon"
I really hope this roger guy dont have some kind of stupid plan that drags on too long either... and I agree with everyone else... when they say that I hope it doesnt involve Cain.. cause I really like him in the show and his character.... Cain and Lilly were awesome together.
Tyra needs to disappear. I don't like her trying to stir up things with Neil and Karen. He was finally happy... but I would expect Dru back anytime ... cause as we all know, they havent found her body.
Jack needs to go to prison.... Like Really! he is sooo getting under my last nerve. He gets away with everything and I think its time that he pays. He doesnt belong with phyllis he belongs alone.
Asley and Victor wont last long, before we know it he will be back with Nikki.
My opinion, things need to speed up and change for the better. I understand there will always be drama, because, well it is the soaps and you need drama, but some of this stuff is just getting, well, boring.
I think, Cain should be with Lilly, Phyllis should stay with Nick, we need a new character for Sharon, someone normal. Nikki and Victor will eventually find their way back to each other. Eden is working out great with Noah. Jack belongs in Jail. Gloria should be either in Prison or working in that diner ms. c is working in now. Chloe should also either disappear or end up with Billy. I really like Jeff and his humor. Jill, Im really not sure... shes hard to read, but seems to only really care about herself.
I liked Adam with Heather, they were kinda good together, but he shouldnt get off with what he has done.

Sorry if everyone dont agree with what I have said, some people like the characters different then what I think and I understand that.
But I think we all agree when I say, speed it up! Either way.. I LOVE Y & R! ITS AWESOME!

I just knew Roger had to be connected to Clint Radison in some way! This story is as much fun as the kidnapping from back in 1989 and 1990! Keep up the great work Y & R writers and welcome to the show, Mr. Leisure.
