Almost two years ago, deVry shared on Instagram a photo of Josie with the simple but telling caption: “adoptdontshop Living the dream. Josie,” which reminds folks that a great place to find their latest family member is through adopting at a kennel.

in 2003. His work on that show earned him a Daytime Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2004. He then took on the role of Storm on B&B. That part concluded after a few years when Storm sacrificed his own life so that Katie (Heather Tom), who was dying, could get her brother’s heart. The story was the focus of the episodes B&B submitted at the Daytime Emmys in 2009 to win its first statuette for Outstanding Drama Series.
Next, deVry took on the part of the presumed dead Julian Jerome on GH in 2013. He and co-star Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) had an on-screen ill-fated romance that was as passionate as it was dysfunctional. Julian died after an epic battle with Sonny (Maurice Benard) in late 2020. Soap Hub sends sincere condolences to deVry at this difficult time.
