Actor Kevin Spirtas is Emmy-worthy for his acting work in “Days of Our Lives.” #Powerjournalist has the scoop.

Spirtas reprised his role as Dr. Craig Wesley on “Days of Our Lives” after nearly two decades, and he killed it last year. His character “came out” and he delivered in some powerful scenes opposite such actors as Nadia Bjorlin, Patrika Darbo, and Greg Rikaart, who play his onscreen daughter, wife, and new lover respectively. This storyline had a lot of heart to it, and Spirtas nailed his character’s moments of catharsis.

Spirtas already has four Emmy awards on his mantel for his work as an actor, writer, and executive producer for the hit digital series “After Forever,” and he deserves to be a 2023 Emmy nominee for “Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series.”
