Guy killed me, Mal. He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?

Wishing David Krumholz the best as he reassesses his priorities. He's a hard worker, and I wish him every success.

His net worth is like $10 million. I know personally if I had that kind of security I could live like a king for the rest of my life doing whatever I wanted.

I'm happy for him, but I wish there was more concrete information provided. Seems like he enjoyed acting but the industry was the issue. Wonder if it was long shoot days or abusive people he had to work with or what. I don't think we're owed any information, but it's kind of weird to vague post about quitting like that. I don't think it's like people were hounding him online about when his next role would be or anything. Apparently he still needs a job, so maybe he's trying to drum up interest in himself as an acting coach or something.

That website is one of the worst I've used in recent time lol.

Popups on an interval to tell me to remove my ad blocker even though at least 3 ads on my screen made it through. So I guess there's even more? Even every time I go back or press continue without disabling, it opened a different article somehow.

Hostile design for tabloid media quoting a social media post. These 'journalists' should take a step back. This could have been a screenshot lol

I post Deadline articles here all the time, I have uBlock Origin on my phone and it looks fine to me. I've never had that kind of issue.

And Deadline is a trusted, reliable source, along with Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Wrap.

I had a drunk late night encounter with this dude. He was humble and funny. Sucks to hear he's having a tough go.

I always wonder what kind of jobs people find after quitting an acting career. I assume you can't really get another education as a young person while trying to get into the movie industry.

If you made enough money you don't even need a job, you can live off capital gains.

Writing, producing, directing, etc... After Encino Man Ke Huy Quan transitioned quite successfully to being a stunt coordinator and is now back to acting.

Numb3rs was one of my favorite shows. I've loved keeping up with his work since then. I hope he finds what he's after.
