"Supergirl" and "Oppenheimer" actor David Krumholtz appears to be at his wits' end with Hollywood.
The actor, 48, is turning heads after a series of since-deleted posts on Threads Monday, Aug. 17, expressing that he was "frustrated" and "fed up" with the industry and felt "fried" as "the profession has lost its gleam," according to Variety and Deadline.
Krumholtz went on to add that he would be taking a hiatus and work toward a "new life" after he made the decision to "put my acting career on hold."
"It's been something I've been petrified to do for years," he continued. "Specifically, the fear was that I'd go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game."
Krumholtz had deleted many of the posts by Tuesday, Aug. 18.
USA TODAY has reached
out to Krumholtz's rep for comment.
The "Santa Clause" actor received support in his replies. In response to another actor saying he's "too good to quit," Krumholtz assured he's "not quitting entirely."
"Just taking a bit of a step back and an indefinite break," he commented. "The stress of the moment has me wondering if there's a higher calling to pursue. Thanks for the very kind thought."
And in response to "Raising Hope" star Garret Dillahunt, who said while it was "sad news" he "understands completely," Krumholtz added that he's setting a new, undefined course.
"Garret, man. Means the world," he wrote. "Ain't over, rather, redefining my terms. Hoping to find a new, more rewarding passion. Me, my product, and I mentality is not working anymore. I want to try to be of service. No crystal ball."
