Chance Chancellor is a fictional character from the CBS Daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, born onscreen on March 15, 1988 as the son of Nina Webster and Phillip Chancellor III. First portrayed by various child actors, the role was last portrayed as an adult by John Driscoll.
The role was first portrayed by Andrew Clark Rogers in 1988, followed by Chuckie and Kenny Gravino from 1988 to 1989 and Scott and Shaun Markley from 1991 to 1993. Thomas Dekker briefly took over in 1993 before Courtland Mead assumed the role until 1995. He was first replaced by Alex D. Linz before Nicholas Pappone took over until 1999. The final child actor to portray the role was future Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley from May 12, 2000 to February 1, 2001.
In May 2009, it was announced that John Driscoll, previously known for his portrayal of Cooper Bradshaw on Guiding Light, had been cast in the role. He made his debut on July 16, 2009. In August 2010, it was announced that Driscoll had been let go and his last airdate was September 9, 2010. However, Driscoll returned for several guest appearances in 2011; from February to May, and from October 20 to November 9.
Phillip "Chance" Chancellor is the son of the wealthy heir to Chancellor Industries, Phillip Chancellor III and Nina Webster. After his father's apparent death, his mother marries Ryan McNeil, whom Phillip thinks of as a father. He is upset when Ryan leaves Nina to be with Tricia Dennison; meanwhile, Ryan is caught between the woman he loves and the boy whom he thinks of as his son. Nina eventually convinces Phillip to spend time with his stepfather and Tricia in order to get to know her. Eventually, Ryan leaves Tricia to be with Victoria Newman and Nina begins a relationship with Tomas Del Cerro. However, Ryan remains a fixture in Phillip's life until he is killed at his wedding to Victoria in 2001. Shortly afterward, Nina and Phillip move to Los Angeles.
