CBS The Bold and the Beautiful fans were shocked when a different actor appears to play an iconic character. Ronn Moss stepped down from his role as Ridge Forrester. Since he played the character for so long, it was hard to see Brooke and Taylor with another actor.
It was also hard to imagine someone else playing the role of Ridge. He played the role of the character for 25 years. Over time, B&B fans have grown to love Moss’ replacement. But what has Ronn Moss been up to since leaving the daytime soap behind?
CBS The Bold and the Beautiful Update – Why Did Ronn Moss Leave The Show?
Rumors swirled about Moss’s departure. He didn’t like some of the things that went on behind the scenes. Moss still loves that part of his career and would never separate himself from it. So, what happened? Moss revealed the details of his departure in an interview with Australia publication Who.
“People think it was just because of the money, but it wasn’t at all. My wife and I were involved in a horrendous car accident in 2012 – we were hit very hard – and it really changed things. Afterward, I just didn’t know if I could do a show like The Bold and the Beautiful, mainly because I just couldn’t remember s**t after the accident! It sounds funny, but it was true. I got to the point where I couldn’t even remember what I was supposed to say in scenes the next day and I thought, ‘I don’t know if I can continue to do this.'”

Nowadays, Moss is a musician. He’s performed with the band Player for years. The band’s song “Baby Come Back” hit number 1 on the Billboard charts in 1978. Moss is still a part of the band. He sings, writes music, and plays instruments, but he either performs solo or with another band called The Men in Black.
In 2019, Moss debuted his own wine brand called Moss Wines. The wines originated from Puglia, Italy, and is available throughout most of Europe. Moss was especially proud of the red wine he created. He took to Facebook to talk about it just months before its release: “Introducing my own amazing Primitivo wine from Puglia soon. I have just shot the preview of it and will share some behind the scenes soon. I’m really in love with this beautiful region and am excited about having my own wine. A limited supply will be available in fine restaurants and online soon.” Ronn Moss is doing just fine after leaving the soap.
