Prior to Stephen Shortridge’s brief stint on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” he was known for his roles in “Welcome Back, Kotter” and “The Love Boat,” per his IMDb. During the first season of “B&B,” he took on the role of Dave Reed, Brooke Logan’s police sergeant boyfriend who eventually gets his heart broken when she leaves him for Ridge Forrester, according to Soap Central.
After Brooke broke off their engagement, his character disappeared from the soap and shortly after, Shortridge gave up acting in order to become a full-time visual artist. “I had been acting for several years and although I had been successful, it was never where my heart was. Art was my first love and always was,” he wrote on his official website. In addition to working on his own paintings, Shortridge has written books about art and Christianity, including his 2011 spiritual tome, “Deepest Thanks, Deeper Apologies.” He also co-owns a fine art gallery in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho with his wife, Cathy Shortridge, called The Painter’s Chair.
