Prinze To Leave Acting Business

The Associated Press is reporting a startling revelation from Freddie Prinze Jr..

RADNOR, Pa. (AP) -- Freddie Prinze Jr. says he plans to stop acting eventually to pursue a writing career. "I'm going to stop acting in the next few years because it's just too weird," Prinze says in the April 19 issue of TV Guide. "You have to constantly be willing to live in a scary, emotional place, which is why actors are in therapy all the time." Prinze has acted in such films as "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Scooby-Doo" and is now shooting the sequel to the latter opposite wife Sarah Michelle Gellar. But in the future, he plans to turn his efforts to writing and has already written one episode of the TV series "Mutant X" that will air this month. "People don't think I can construct a sentence, let alone write a script," he said.
