Before breaking out on primetime TV, Jesse Lee Soffer starred in several soap operas, including “Guiding Light” and “As the World Turns.” Meanwhile, fellow actor Brittany Snow also got her start on “Guiding Light” around the same time.
In an NBC interview inquiring about several of Soffer’s notable “firsts,” he recalled Snow as his first on-screen kiss when they starred together on the soap opera. “My first on-screen kiss, I think, was on a soap opera when I was 14. It must have been ‘Guiding Light,’ and it was with Brittany Snow,” Soffer recalled. “I think I was her first on-screen kiss, but I could be wrong about that,” he elaborated.
