Malcolm Winters is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. Originally portrayed by Shemar Moore for two intervals, between 1994 and 2005, Darius McCrary took over the role from December 29, 2009 to October 17, 2011. Moore reprised the role for a guest appearance in September 2014.
Malcolm is the half-brother of longtime character, Neil Winters. His history includes a romance with Neil's wife, Drucilla Winters, his history as a photographer, and marriages to Olivia Winters and Sofia Dupre.
The role was originated by Shemar Moore in May 1994, who received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his portrayal in 2000, with nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor in 1996 and 1997. After much speculation that Moore would exit the soap opera in 2000, he confirmed that he would depart at the end of his contract in the spring of 2001. However, in February 2001, Moore announced that he had extended his contract through the end of that year. In December, he announced that he was officially leaving The Young and the Restless, and last aired on February 14, 2002. In September 2004, after a two-year absence, Moore was announced to reprise the role. Of Moore's return, former co-head writer John F. Smith stated: "We are thrilled to have Shemar back with us. His story will be something very unexpected, off the page, and exciting. The man is going to have impact." Moore made his return on November 1, 2004. However, within weeks, Moore's publicist revealed that his return would be short-lived, as he had only signed a six-month contract. The publicist stated: "He's auditioning now [for other projects] and he has two or three films coming out next year. You know how this industry is. At least [The Young and the Restless will] have him for six months." Moore made his final appearance as the character on September 1, 2005.
