Y&R casts Darnell Kirkwood as sexy photographer

Darnell Kirkwood is on his way to The Young and the Restless to play a hot photographer with serious swagger.

The verdict is still out if The Young and the Restless' new photographer's got the moves like Jagger, but he's definitely got swagger.

The CBS soap has cast Darnell Kirkwood in the role of Jordan Wilde, a shutterbug who will interact with the Brash & Sassy crew, Soap Opera Digest reports.

The original casting call for the character went out in December and described Jordan -- named Ryder in the announcement -- as a sexy African American in his early 30s who's not only a gifted photographer but has serious swagger. He's also quite tall, as the call asked specifically for actors a minimum of six feet in height.

Kirkwood, who has appeared on Burn Notice and Bosch, makes his Y&R debut on Friday, February 10.

If you can't wait until February, here's a video that will help you get to know Darnell.
