As I delve into the lives of these extraordinary individuals, I am consistently awestruck by their determination and resilience. Take Portia de Rossi, for instance, who once graced our screens in iconic shows like Ally McBeal and Arrested Development, yet chose to step away from Hollywood limelight to focus on her family and entrepreneurial ventures. Her story is a testament to the fact that sometimes, life’s most profound transformations come when we least expect them.
Pauley Perrette is fine with her decision to leave Hollywood behind.
In 2020, the actress who plays a significant role in NCIS declared that she was planning to retire from acting following more than twenty years of TV work. To this day, four years later, she remains steadfast in her decision.
Pauley, 55, expressed in an interview with HELLO! on October 1st that she’s grateful for the advantages she received, but has changed as a person and wishes to embrace everything – the positive, negative, and challenging aspects. She wants to always be true to herself, and it takes courage for her to acknowledge this, but it reflects how she genuinely feels.
2003 marked the start of Pauley’s acting ascendancy, as she became part of the cast of NCIS, playing Abby Sciuto – the forensic scientist at the criminal investigation hub. Throughout her tenure on this show, she collaborated with actors like Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, David McCallum, Sasha Alexander, and Cote de Pablo. Pauley’s last appearance was in 2017.
After her character left “Almost Famous”, the actress played a role in the pilot episode of “Broke” on CBS in 2019. In the same year, following reports of violent behavior on set involving her former colleague Mark Harmon on NCIS, Pauley Perrette made it known that she would not be returning to NCIS and felt secure on the set of “Broke”. (It’s worth noting that Mark Harmon has never addressed these allegations publicly).
Pauley made it clear online, “I will not be returning, not even once, and I hope you understand this (please stop asking). I am deeply fearful of Harmon and the possibility of him causing harm to me. I have recurring nightmares about it. However, I want to share that I have a new show which promises safety and happiness, I believe you will find it delightful!
In 2020, Pauley shared on social media that she was stepping back entirely from the entertainment industry. Nowadays, she’s immersed in activities that resonate with her and offer a therapeutic means of dealing with her challenges: specifically, documentaries.
Currently, I yearn for genuine experiences in every aspect of my life. As an actor, at times, this profession has served as a refreshing escape; it’s almost like a powerful drug because I could step out of myself and become someone else. To put it simply, my character didn’t carry the burdens that I was shouldering.
She continued, “It’s why I only watch documentaries, I want the truth. For me, going back to being an actor would be taking away from this life of true authenticity that I’m living 100% of the time.”

Since his role in Netflix’s 2019 series “V-Wars”, Ian Somerhalder – father of two with Nikki Reed – has moved away from acting and delved deeper into a personal project: combating climate change by improving the world’s soil. He explained to TopMob News in November, that he stepped back from acting about four years ago to focus on raising his children, building his companies, and launching documentaries like “Kiss the Ground” (2020) and its recent follow-up, “Common Ground”, which highlight the importance of regenerative farming. When reflecting on the future, he expressed that he envisions himself as a rancher, developing legacy brands such as his bourbon or health and wellness company, all while practicing and promoting regenerative agriculture and healthy soil management. His passion for this cause is deeply rooted in who he is and where he sees his life heading.
The actress who played a role in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has decided to step away from acting for an undetermined period of time, following two decades in the film industry.
On June 3, Evangeline expressed on Instagram: “Today I’m overflowing with happiness and contentment as I bring my vision to life. I am deeply thankful for all my blessings. Sometimes, walking away from the conventional paths of wealth and fame can be intimidating, but embracing your purpose brings that fear back with a sense of achievement instead.
However, it’s not definitive that she’s closing the door. In fact, she mentioned, “There’s a possibility I could go back to Hollywood someday, but right now, this is where I feel at home.
In a February 2021 episode of her podcast, “Empty Inside”, the former iCarly star confided in guest Anna Faris about stepping away from acting a few years prior and now pursuing opportunities in writing, directing, and hosting. Jennette admitted that she feels ashamed of her past acting roles, resentful of her career, and unfulfilled by the characters she portrayed, finding them cheesy and embarrassing. From the age of 13 to 21, she starred in various shows, but even at 15, she felt embarrassed about her Nickelodeon gig. However, she hasn’t completely ruled out a return to acting. In an October 2022 interview with TopMob News, she expressed that writing her memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died” has helped her find a possible way of revisiting acting without carrying the baggage she’s held onto for so long. If she were to write something specifically for herself, it might provide an opportunity for her to try acting again.
This seemed like an obvious choice. If we had the opportunity to wed Prince Harry, dedicate our life to charitable efforts that are close to our heart and gain access to the Queen’s magnificent collection of tiaras, saying goodbye to Hollywood might be a sacrifice worth making.
Since her debut in 1994’s “The Mask”, the actress has starred in more than 40 films. After wrapping up filming for “Annie” in 2014, she felt it was time to take a break. She expressed this to friend Gwyneth Paltrow, stating that she wanted different experiences in life. She had been working tirelessly for a long time and making movies was a constant grind. During the filming process, the production essentially owns you as you work 12 hours a day for months on end with no time for anything else.
The actor made it clear that he wouldn’t perform any more after wrapping up his five-year stint on Empire. When Extra questioned him about his future before the musical drama series ended in 2019, he stated, “I’ve had enough acting and pretending.” Despite appearing in a few projects later, he repeated his intentions to leave acting while discussing his Peacock series The Best Man: The Final Chapters in 2022. He told ET, “I’ve given my best as an actor. Now I prefer watching fresh talent emerge, and I don’t want to mimic myself anymore.
Following King Joffrey’s unexpected demise in 2014, the then 21-year-old actor told Entertainment Weekly that he was stepping away from acting. He had been acting since the age of eight and expressed that he no longer found it as enjoyable as before. Acting, which had initially been a fun recreational activity, now seemed like work due to his professional commitments. However, after a six-year break, he might be ready to return to acting, having joined the cast of BBC’s upcoming series “Out of Her Mind”.
Back in 1989, when Jennifer Aniston, who played the dream girl in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, married Kevin Kline, they decided to take turns working so that they wouldn’t have to juggle their careers and parenting responsibilities simultaneously. As Kevin explained in an interview with Playboy, their plan was to ensure proper care for their children, Owen and Greta. However, whenever it was his turn to work, he noted, Aniston chose to stay with the kids instead. Although she made a brief appearance in Jennifer Jason Leigh’s 2001 independent film “The Anniversary Party”, Aniston primarily focuses on running her New York City boutique, Blue Tree.
In the peak of his popularity from movies like “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”, the ’80s star took a break from acting not long after his wife’s death due to breast cancer in 1991, choosing instead to focus on raising his children Rachel and Mitchell. Since then, he hasn’t taken on any live-action roles, turning down a part even in Paul Feig’s 2016 “Ghostbusters” remake. However, he remains a beloved cultural figure, as shown by the public outcry over reports of an alleged assault while walking in New York City in October. Fortunately, fans will be happy to know that he is set to return to the screen alongside Josh Gad in the upcoming Disney reboot “Shrunk”.
After marrying fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, Drew Barrymore suggested that she might be moving away from acting due to its explicit nature. Speaking with Vogue, she stated, “Ninety percent of acting roles require a lot of intimate scenes with other people, and I don’t want to do that.” She continued, “It’s such a peculiar flame to play with, and our relationship is strong enough to handle it, but if you’re going to walk through fire, there has to be something truly remarkable on the other side.
She had previously starred in shows like “Ally McBeal”, “Nip/Tuck”, “Arrested Development”, and lastly “Scandal”. At the age of 45, she began to ponder if there was something new and different she could take on. As she put it on the talk show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres in 2018, “I just kind of…wondered if I could try something I hadn’t done before that would be really challenging and unique.” She explained that she had a good idea of what her acting career would look like for the next decade or two, so she decided to step away from acting and start a business instead.
After winning three Academy Awards, it’s hard to find new achievements in acting. Following his sixth Oscar nomination for his last film, “Phantom Thread” (2017), the actor announced that he would no longer be taking on roles. He expressed deep gratitude towards his collaborators and audiences throughout his career. This decision was personal, and neither the actor nor his representatives will provide further comments on this matter.
In 2018, the actress who was known for her role in “Good Luck Charlie” decided to step away from the limelight and focus on her education. She completed a master’s degree at MIT and later earned a PhD from the same institution. Currently, she is also studying law at Harvard Law School.
Beyond the excitement, I too embarked on an extraordinary journey, launching my very own venture, Northwood Space, in February 2023. This innovative startup is geared towards constructing ground satellite stations that facilitate the transmission and reception of data from outer space. As its dedicated CEO, I’m thrilled to be part of this mission.
