\n\tHe\u2019s amassed more than 140 credits on an enviable resum\u00e9 that dates back to the early 1990s, but David Krumholtz seems ready to throw in the towel on his Hollywood career.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a shocking announcement posted (and later deleted) on social media, Krumholtz said he\u2019s \u201cfrustrated, fed up, fried\u201d with the business, so much so that he already sent an email to declare it done. Once the decision was made, Krumholtz felt a \u201chuge wave of relief\u201d wash over him.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI kinda sorta put my acting career on hold the other day. It\u2019s been something I\u2019ve been petrified to do for years. Specifically, the fear was that I\u2019d go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game. But I sent the definitive email,\u201d he shared on Threads. \u201cAnd gotta say, a huge wave of relief washed over me. Not sure what I\u2019m going to do for money instead, or how I\u2019m going to do it, but I just removed a humongous burden, one that I truly didn\u2019t fathom the weight of until it was gone. Frustrated, fed up, fried.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe post received tons of traction immediately, and Krumholtz continued the conversation by responding in comments to fans expressing their disappointment, encouragement and\/or support, as well as posting additional replies. \u201cThe love and encouragement re: my last post is overwhelmingly surprising. Acting professionally is a very different concept than the exercise of acting itself. I\u2019ve enjoyed every single minute of exercising the muscle. I\u2019ve enjoyed the fanfare. There was a time when being competitive and self-involved really served my pursuit. That time has passed. Much to MY overwhelming surprise. There will always be great joy in the exercise. But for me, the profession has lost its gleam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFellow actor Garret Dillahunt was among those who responded by posting, \u201cThis is sad news for me. But I am happy for you. I understand completely.\u201d Krumholtz wrote back and further elaborated on his next moves: \u201cAin\u2019t over, rather, redefining my terms. Hoping to find a new, more rewarding passion. Me, my product, and [my] mentality is not working anymore. I want to try to be of service. No crystal ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
