A new casting call has some wondering if The Young and the Restless might be recasting a familiar role. The role, currently known as "Dylan," is slated to hit the airwaves in early 2013. A new casting call has raised some eyebrows. The breakdown for the role, described as a rugged 30 something male, shares some striking similarities to a character viewers are already familiar with: Chance Chancellor.
According to the casting call, Y&R is seeking a "rugged, dynamic, energetic man in his mid-30s" for the role of Dylan MacAvoy. The character reportedly "comes from humble, blue-collar beginnings, was studying to be an architect when his construction/contractor father was injured and Dylan had to drop out of college to take over the business. He's done two tours of duty in the Middle East, army special ops. The war left a mark on him. Hes done his best to bury it with optimism and a wry, sometimes offbeat sense of humor."
