ACTORS WHO LEFT ACTING FOR OTHER JOBS, AT LEAST FOR AWHILE

  • Anne Hathaway took a break from acting to be a housewife. That didn't last too long as she has already been busy enough to forget she was ever away. Her most recent movie is Interstellar
  • Jack Gleeson traded acting for schooling. It's said Jack has left acting for good to focus on his education and following it through to score his masters.
  • Amanda Bynes turned in her acting hat for that of fashion. The Nickelodeon actress has had a troubled path and might be back, after all she was just recently spotted looking happy and healthy.
  • Kel Mitchell decided to bag acting to be a parent. Mitchell is best known for his role on the Nickelodeon show 'All That'
  • Sean Connery... he just decided enough was enough and retired
  • Kevin Jonas is now a contractor.
  • Dave Chappelle of the Dave Chappelle show moved to Africa about 10 years ago

The list goes on a bit, but some have been gone so long, you might not even remember them to begin with, well maybe Gene Hackman who bailed on acting to write.

Now you're in the know!
