etter known to over 35O million people worldwide as the
despicable lawyer Michael Baldwin on The Young and the
Restless , or as Kirk McColl from As The World Turns , Christian
Jules LeBlanc is a native of Louisiana and quite an accomplished
artist. Illustrations that began as gifts for his young nephews
quickly dovetailed nicely with his acting career. The producers of
the play Ladies in Retirement, the premier theatrical production
of the Coconut Grove Theater's 4Oth, anniversary season,
offered him a commission to transmogrify the human characters
of the play into the animal characters LeBlanc had been
developing for children's books. The drawings followed the
course of the old Victorian whodunit, incorporating the clues of
the murder mystery along the way. Christian followed up this
success by entering his first art show. He was awarded "second
overall" in the prestigious Culver City Art Festival in Los Angeles.
