David Krumholtz's indefinite break from acting definitely over

David Krumholtz's acting hiatus that he announced in August of this year has come to an end. The Oppenheimer star had previously stated that he would be taking a break from his long and successful career. However, Variety reported on Wednesday that Krumholtz has now joined the cast of a new true crime limited series. The Trial Of Louise Woodward will see the actor playing criminal defense attorney Harvey Silverglate alongside fellow actors Catriona Chandler, Joanne Froggatt, Chloë Sevigny, and Hugh Laurie.

Krumholtz's decision to return to acting was fueled by frustration with the industry, including issues with auditioning, the disparity between studio profits and actors' pay, and a decline in respect for actors. The actor, who has been in the business for over three decades, has also faced health challenges, including thyroid cancer and marijuana-related cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.
