I played in two or three, and I'd worked with Disney for a while, and right on the set I just worked with them, and I was a gunslinger, you know, and then the smog started to bother me. It was just okay, but it started to bother me, just getting into my eyes and everything, just getting worse, so I told the agent that was with me, and she said, well, if it's better for you, if you want to quit, I'll still stay on as your agent, she said, but if we need you, we'll call you. So I said, I'm going home, and I just packed up my stuff, got in my car and took off. Didn't look back, I didn't look back, I just kept on coming. I got back home, and I went out to my dad's place, ranch, back at the old place, and told him about my eyesight and everything, and here the Hollywood called me and told me I could work from home.
