Chris Engen

RMichael Muhney was on Veronica Mars. He seem like a good enough actor but I still miss Chris Engen's portrayal of the character. Despite what Nelson Brancho and Perez Hilton claims Chris Engen left becausee of the darkness of the Ashley gaslight stroyline and not becuase of the upcoming scences with Rafe.

RI won't comment on the old Adam since that wasn't part of your question.I too had my doubts about the recast. He was blah like he wasn't sure how to play it at first but now I see that he has embraced the role & is doing the job he was hired to do regardless of what he thinks of the story line.So what do I think? I think he is fitting in nicely (regardless of what I think of the storyline).

RI liked Chris better. But I am starting to like the new one. Replacements take time to like. After about a month or two you either like them or hate them. I still don't like the girl who plays Victoria and she has been on their for years now. I liked Heather Tom. The new Billy I didn't like him at first but now he is good.

RI don't think they plan that far in advance, and even if they did they do change writers fairly frequently so the plans could always change - even in the short term.But, if the actor who portrays Adam, Chris Engen, decides to remain on Y&R for a very long time, I could see that happening. I think he is a good actor and keeps getting better at his craft. If he and Heather start a family and he is able to lead a major company in GC in the future, then I think that would indicate that they are going in that direction.

RhE PLAYS HIS PART WELL BUT HE WANTED TO LEAVE THE SHOW CONFLICT OF INTEREST!

RFROM HIS BLOG--CHRIS ENGEN - STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC Good Day. This is the first time in my life that I address an audience so vast and varied. There are a number of heated topics that have become entwined with my recent decision to quit my job, and I feel there are a number of truths that deserve to be stated, a number of untruths that deserve to be rectified, and a few of my own ideas that, by way of circumstance, I am compelled to inject into the debate. This is the only statement I intend to make regarding this subject. I would like first to apologize, as I feel I owe a great many of you at least that. I know that a choice like this appears weak and impulsive. Honestly, it was the last thing I ever thought I’d do - the absolute LAST thing I ever wanted. The job has been a great challenge, and my hat is off to all my fellow actors who have mastered it so gracefully. I know a great many of you have endured far worse than what you perceive to have been my circumstance, but I do not believe that just because you have suffered a particular injustice, so too must everyone else in order to understand that injustice. I want to apologize to any of my fellow actors who I may have disappointed. I would also like to apologize to those of you who feel slighted by this choice, as I have been branded a "homophobe" by several members of the press. This is, of course, absurd and many of my dearest friends are homosexuals who would be more than happy to speak on my behalf. My decision had nothing to do with religion, or anything I learned at Bishop Montgomery High School. Bishop is a great institution of learning that encourages tolerance and acceptance of others. True -- I was not comfortable with many of the challenges they presented before me, but I put my head down and did my job. The fact that I had an opportunity as ostensibly attractive and lucrative as this, particularly in difficult economic times and with so many talented actors and industry professionals out of work was, of course, more than reason enough to be grateful. I considered it part of the challenge and within my job description to do the best with whatever storyline was being written for me, as I was very fortunate to be getting a storyline in the first place. I never stormed off the set, nor have I stormed off any set in my 18 years of struggle as an artist. I felt generally unhappy about my contribution to the show, and had greater and greater difficulty making any sense of the challenges they were asking me to face. If that makes me a limited actor, then so be it. I was allowed ONE meeting with Maria Bell, and I called in sick ONCE in my 16 months on the show. In the end, I didn’t feel that decisions were being made in my best interests, personally or professionally.I learned a great deal in my time there and I am eternally grateful for the challenges that enriched me as an artist and as a man. As a single father, with sole custody of a 10 year-old boy, this was neither a practical decision, nor was it an easy decision to make. I believe that as an actor, and as a human being, I deserve better than to be forced to do something that I don’t feel is right on many levels, and that should have nothing to do with the choices that other people make.

RI'm sorry to see him leave, he played his part very well. However, I'm happy that he didn't give up his soul just for the money and at least he has values. It's great to see an actor have some morals.

RI like the actor he plays his part very well to bad he has to go!

RLeft in Darkness (2006)starring Monica Keena, David Anders, Tim Thomerson, Chris Engen, Tarah PaigeIMDb review:The story is about a woman who is raised by her grandparents after her mother dies giving birth and her father disappears. She dies during a frat party after being drugged and raped. Caught between heaven and hell, she must fight for her soul using vague clues given to her by dead relatives and a guardian angel of sorts. IMDb review excerpt:Her guardian angel, Donovan, who saved her life when she was a girl, explains the rules about keeping the protection of her sanctuary and surviving attacks by soul eaters. Soon, Celia finds that she is in a sort of purgatory and distrusts Donovan. Further, she does not know who is telling the truth and how to reach Heaven.

RI don't really miss Adam. I will agree that he is a good actor. But I think he has become played out. He has hurt so many people. I want to see Heather go after him for all he's worth.
