Peter Porte is well-known for his portrayal of Ricky Williams in the soap opera ‘The Young and the Restless’. More recently, he reprised his role as Dimitri Von Leuschner in Peacock’s ‘Days of Our Lives’.
Porte was born on March 31, 1984 in Greenwood Lake, New York. He has always wanted to pursue a career in acting, which he first got into when he was in third grade when he participated in a Christopher Columbus pageant.
Thereafter, he continued acting all throughout high school, and eventually decided to become a professional actor. In 2002, Porte graduated from George F. Baker High School, then attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Acting. He then went on to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Porte has since made a name for himself as a professional actor, which has always been his goal. He has starred in numerous films and television shows, including 2022’s gay rom-com ‘Uncoupled’, where he starred opposite Neil Patrick Harris.
Not to mention, he portrayed the character of Brad Walker in the sitcom ‘Baby Daddy’, among many other credits in his filmography. Porte is also currently a series regular in the soap opera ‘Days of Our Lives’, which is available for streaming on Peacock.

As previously mentioned, he has always wanted to become an actor, but if he had to pursue a new career, he revealed that it would be a park ranger.
“A park ranger. I was just in New York and saw they had Central Park rangers. I’ve visited more than half of the national parks in the U.S. I love the [uniforms] and the dope hats. Those hats are awesome. I would love to wear that every day,” the 39-year-old American actor shared during a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest.
Moreover, Porte is openly gay, and he has been married to husband Jacob Jules Villere since 2018.

Oh Goodness,
Live and let Live.
Who are we to judge.
I’m so sick of seeing gay people on TV. It’s like everyone tries cramming gay & lbgq whatever else they go by. I don’t care who’s gay just don’t try cramming this down my throat. The world doesn’t owe them anything!! I’m canceling my subscription to Hallmark as they don’t have the guts to say no to the gays. May God have mercy on this nation. The lbgq alfabet people are a disgrace to our nation. You are who God made you to be & you can change your body appearance all you want cuz your still gonna be who GOD made you to be!!!!!
Poor little thing. Love it how you go out of your way to judge people, come to our site and shove your beliefs down our throats. But alas, you’ve had a lot of practice doing that. I didn’t realize gay men were changing their bodies. I think you’re mixing your hate wheel up and apparently are going against transgender people that choose to have surgeries? So unlike your straight women breast and nose augmentations, liposuction, but alas. you go ahead and point your hate away from yourself and onto others.
Great to see you are confused and mental, but at least you know how the internet works. God bless your heart, because they missed your brain.
May God have mercy on those who don’t love his children. God loves all, God created all, God guides us all in his creation
I don’t understand how those who claim they’re Christians fail to practice the one commandment of Jesus, love thy neighbors as we love God.
What am I missing? Should I dislike ignorance that’s cramped down my throat daily by those who dislike or don’t understand God’s work?
Get a life
Getting straight people “crammed” down all of our lgbtq lives is pretty distressing and soul squashing. If it weren’t for you narrow minded straight people more of us would be alive and well and welcomed in the world.
I only recently found out he’s gay. I watched the adorable gay Christmas movie w/ him called Dashing in December and looked him up, it was actually the first time I had heard of him.
