Emmy Award winning New York native Kristoff St. John has been an integral part of The Young and the Restless as Neil Winters for more than a few years. In 1992, St. John won his first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series. In 2008, Mr. St. John won his second Emmy, as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Over the years, he has also won numerous NAACP Image Awards. Mr. St. John is an avid supporter of animal rights an active member of PETA. An active spokesman for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Mr. St. John, graciously answered the invitation to become part of POZ's fund raiser for AIDS Walk Los Angeles last year. Mr. St. John was a noteworthy and valuable addition to this effort. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he'll find the time to join us again this year. His nice guy reputation preceded him last year and we were not at all disappointed.
