His excellent performance on the show made him a two-time winner of the "Daytime Emmy Awards." He played the role of "Neil Winters," a man with no stable love-life.

Neil Winters was a big part of the show, and whenever he went off screen for a little while, he was usually missed by fans. Sadly, this time, Kristoff is going to be offscreen for as long as forever, and he'll be forever missed.
