Constantine Maroulis has become the second American Idol finalist to land a role on a daytime soap opera. He is due to debut on CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful on May 15, playing a music producer. Maroulis finished sixth during the fourth season of Idol. Another Idol finalist, Matthew Metzger, who was a semi-finalist in the third season, landed a role on One Life to Live.
