Thomas Forrester

Thomas Forrester is a fictional character from The Bold and the Beautiful, an American soap opera on the CBS network. Created and introduced by Bradley Bell, the role has been portrayed by multiple child actors. In 2004, the role was rapidly aged with actor Drew Tyler Bell, who remained in the role until 2010. That same year, Adam Gregory was cast in the role, who remained until 2014. The following year, Pierson Fodé was cast in the role. Fodé departed the role in September 2017 and returned for a one-month guest stint from March to April 2018. In February 2019, it was announced that Matthew Atkinson had been cast in the role; he debuted the following month when Thomas returned to Los Angeles. He exited the role in July 2024, when Thomas moved to France with Paris (Diamond White). Atkinson reprised the role in 2025 in a guest capacity when Thomas returned in September and December. Thomas is the son of supercouple Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss/Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo/Krista Allen/Rebecca Budig). He has two sisters, Phoebe (MacKenzie Mauzy) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and a half-brother, R. J. Forrester (Anthony Turpel/Joshua Hoffman) from his father's marriage to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Drew Tyler Bell won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series in 2010, for his portrayal of Thomas. Fodé's portrayal later earned him two consecutive nominations, in 2017 and 2018, for the same category.
