Raphael Thompson, who was recently eliminated from The Price is Right's Male Model Search, has landed the role of Forrester Creations employee, Matt, on CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

"To even make it that far in the competition was really great,” Thompson tells Soap Opera Digest. "To make it that far and have the opportunity to go to the next level of my career and have the opportunity to be on The Bold and the Beautiful was just that much more great."

Thompson watched both TPIR and B&B as a kid.

"As a child wanting to be an actor because of soap operas and actually being on The Bold and the Beautiful was like, 'Wow, I could really get used to doing this.'" he says.

"It would be an amazing and humbling pleasure to be a series regular," adds Thompson. "That would be the ultimate reward."

Thompson will make his Bold and the Beautiful debut on November 20.
