Robert Gillespie Adamson IV (born July 11, 1985) is an American actor, best known for his roles as Phil Sanders on the television series Hollywood Heights, Charles Antoni on Lincoln Heights, and Noah Newman on the CBS Daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless.

Early Life[edit]

Adamson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and spent his childhood in St. George. He lived in Hawaii, then returned to Utah to attend Alta High School.[1] He became interested in acting the summer before his senior year, when he auditioned for a Shakespeare Festival. To his surprise, he was cast in Othello. He went on to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts.[2]

Career[edit]

Adamson's early credits include guest appearances on Cold Case and It's Always Sunny in Philadephia. He was cast in a Disney Channel Original Movie, Princess Protection Program, co-starring with Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.[3]

He soon landed a regular role as Charles on the ABC Family drama series, Lincoln Heights.[2] Adamson then played another regular role as Phil on Hollywood Heights. This lead to him being cast as Noah Newman on the CBS Daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, replacing Kevin Schmidt. He first aired on October 1, 2012.[4][5][6]

Adamson was dropped to recurring status at The Young and the Restless in 2016.[7] He announced in February 2018 that he had been dismissed from the show.[8] He made a short return to the role in 2020.[9]

In 2022, Adamson temporarily played Michael Corinthos on General Hospital, replacing Chad Duell while he was ill.[10]

Personal life[edit]

Adamson and then-fiancée Linsey Godfrey welcomed daughter Aleda Seren on June 12, 2014.[11] He and Godfrey made their last public appearance together on April 26, 2015, at the Daytime Emmy Awards.[12] On August 3, 2015, after months of speculation, a representative for The Bold and the Beautiful confirmed that Adamson and Godfrey had ended their engagement but would continue to raise their daughter "in a loving and amicable environment and her needs will always be their common priority".[13]
