The actor has experienced anxiety attacks for nearly 20 years, which are "exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events," so after completing work on Stutz - a documentary film about mental health - he decided to step away from promoting his projects.In an open letter, he wrote: "I have finished directing my second film, a documentary about me and my therapist which explores mental health in general called Stutz.""The whole purpose of making this film is to give therapy and the tools Ive learned in therapy to a wide audience for private use through an entertaining film.

""Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events.""I am so grateful that the film will make its world premiere at a prestigious film festival this fall, and I cant wait to share it with audiences around the world in the hope that it will help those struggling.

However, you wont see me out there promoting this film, or any of my upcoming films, while I take this important step to protect myself.If I made myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I wouldnt be acting true to myself or to the film.
