Days of our Lives is pulling out all the stops for its big 50th anniversary celebration, and in addition to a slew of fan favorite returns comes word that the NBC drama is amping up the show's sex appeal -- via the casting of fitness model/actor TJ Hoban.
The Chicago native took to Twitter to announce the exciting news. "Just booked Days of our Lives," he wrote. "Starts filming next week, airs in Oct. Can't give details, so stay tuned ;) #DooL"
According to his official website, Hoban began acting at the early age of six but later decided to pursue modeling after being discovered on a beach in San Diego. He's graced the cover of many fitness and male magazines and was even named the number one fitness model of all time with the best abs in the business by various fitness magazines.
At this time, there's no word on which DAYS character Hoban will be playing or how long he'll be keeping those abs in Salem.
Who do you think Hoban will be playing when he shows up on DAYS? We want to hear from you -- so drop your comments in the Comments section below, tweet about it on Twitter, share it on Facebook, or chat about it on our Message Boards.
