Young. Hot. German.

There are many adjectives that can be used to describe Michael Graziadei of The Young and the Restless.

With that in mind, here are a few fun facts about the actor:

• He's the seventh actor to be cast in the role of Daniel (the sixth one taped episodes that never aired).

• Has been playing the guitar for nine years.

• His mother has always been a huge fan of The Young and the Restless.

• Is learning to surf now that he lives in Los Angeles.

Graziadei once said, on attending the Daytime Emmy Awards:

"David Lago and Thad Luckinbill showed me around. We had a good time together. I was just trying to stay close by everybody and keep meeting as many people as I could. This was the first major event like this for me. I came out to New York once for New Year's Eve and once to screen-test for All My Children, so this was the first time I got to go and enjoy myself."
