Top dog: The German-born actor played Victor Newman on the long-running CBS soap opera
Although his famous Young And The Restless character was initially only meant to be on the series for a limited time, Eric's portrayal of Victor Newman was so popular that his character's arc was extended.
The German-born actor had already established himself in Hollywood two decades prior to his famous 1980s soap opera role.

'I'm happy to be able to go to work,' the Murder She Wrote star said during his Facebook Live video where he initially announced his cancer diagnosis.
