Don Diamont lives in Palisades, California. But he certainly doesn't live there alone.

As a recent article in The Palisades Post details, Diamont lives with his wife and seven children (twins from his current marriage, four children from a previous relationship and his nephew).

Regarding The Young and the Restless, meanwhile, the man that plays Brad Carlton talked about remaining on top of the soap opera world for so long.

"We've been number one for 17 years,' Diamont said. "There's definitely an attrition going on. You have the Internet, 500 TV channels; it's ever more of a challenge."

After 23 years, the actor also talked about why playing the same character is still a challenge.

"A lot of that comes from the writers and the stories that they come up with," Diamont said. "They keep you enthralled."

One of the major stars of The Young and the Restless, Don Diamont was recently featured in the Palisandian-Post. Here's an excerpt of the piece:

Born Donald Feinberg in New York on December 31, 1962, Diamont moved with his family to California and attended high school at Brentwood School, where he excelled at basketball and football. He worked for several years as a model before making his acting breakthrough as Carlo Forenza on Days of our Lives in 1984.

A year later, Diamont became Bradley Carlton on The Young and the Restless. He left the cast in 1996, but returned in 1998 and continues to portray the playboy Carlton, who quickly rose from gardener to corporate executive on the show.
