Rick Springfield on ‘Young and the Restless’

Rick Springfield Appeared on “Young and the Restless” Before “General Hospital?”

We think of Rick Springfield as a soap star from his days as Noah Drake on “General Hospital,” but a YouTube clip shared by Doug Davidson highlighting his (Doug’s) 42 years at “Young and the Restless” show Rick practicing karate in a scene from the show. This is probably from the late ‘70s to early ‘80s (this appearance isn’t listed on Rick’s IMDB page). A very young (obviously) David Hasselhoff, aka Snapper, is in the scene too.

The Rick moment starts around 7:16. There’s a good minute of karate fun. Watch!
