The 48-year-old actor, known for films including Oppenheimer and The Santa Clause and the television series Numb3rs, said stepping away from his acting career brought him an unexpected sense of relief. Krumholtz has spoken about concerns over financial security, changing opportunities in Hollywood and the pressure he has experienced while pursuing work. “I kinda sorta put my acting career on hold the other day. It’s been something I’ve been petrified to do for years,” Krumholtz wrote in a now-deleted post on Threads. “Specifically, the fear was that I’d go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game,” he added.
