Actor Peter Porte joined me in The Locher Room for a candid and wide-ranging conversation you will not want to miss. We covered everything from his latest role as Deacon Granville in the audio drama Montecito to the importance of authentic representation on screen and in storytelling. Peter spoke openly about his own coming out journey, sharing how his personal experiences have shaped the roles he chooses and the stories he wants to tell.

We also explored his love of horror movies and the genre’s lasting appeal, as well as memorable chapters from his daytime career. Peter looked back on his time as Ricky Williams on The Young and the Restless, recalling what it was like to work with Michelle Stafford and Doug Davidson, and his run as Dimitri von Leuschner on Days of Our Lives, where he shared the screen with Greg Rikaart and Emily O’Brien—including his long-standing off-screen friendship with Greg.

It’s a fun, thoughtful, and personal conversation that offers fans a deeper look at Peter’s career, his passions, and the stories that matter most to him.
