However, he is also looking back and has sat down to talk to Variety for their Power of Pride issue about the show and future plans.
On his departure from the show, he said: “I played the s**t out of that character, and some people could have done it longer probably — I don’t mean our show, but this relationship with the character.
“But I feel like we really wrung that material for what it was.”
He also added: “No matter how successful you are, even if you’re a huge success in movies, you don’t get to check into the same parking space for 12 years.
“This is not how someone in a creative profession normally gets to behave. Most human beings crave that structure, so I can see how it causes some hurricanes in the heart.”
