Summary
Instagram posts on Aug. 19 had Krumholtz stressing he never said he was retiring or quitting, only that he had put his acting career on hold.
Mental health concerns drove the pause: he said the weight of long-held ambitions had become oppressive and that his family needed him to protect his well-being.
Krumholtz also said he is torn between the self-involvement acting demands and a desire to give more of himself to people in need, which he plans to pursue for now.
Earlier posts described him as "frustrated, fed up, fried" after 34 years in the business, though he said more completed work is still coming and asked fans to "gimme a sec."
