Now, after appearing in TV and film since 1992, the actor has decided to go on hiatus.

“I kinda sorta put my acting career on hold the other day.

It’s been something I’ve been petrified to do for years,” he posted on Threads yesterday (August 18).

“Specifically, the fear was that I’d go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game.

But I sent the definitive email.” He continued, “And gotta say, a huge wave of relief washed over me.

Not sure what I’m going to do for money instead, or how I’m going to do it, but I just removed a humongous burden, one that I truly didn’t fathom the weight of until it was gone.

Frustrated, fed up, fried.” His announcement drew a wave of positive responses, to which he replied: “The love and encouragement re: my last post is overwhelmingly surprising.

Acting professionally is a very different concept than the exercise of acting itself.

I’ve enjoyed every single minute of exercising the muscle.

I’ve enjoyed the fanfare.
