There were career frustrations too. The acting work in L.A. was spotty and hardly satisfying. "You get a Seinfeld episode, and people still to this day think that's a big deal," he says. "'You were on the Festivus episode.' That was four days out of my life!" He knew it was time to leave when he was kicking himself for losing out on a regular role in V.I.P., the Pamela Anderson action series.
