Fans of “The Office” may not see one of its stars on their screens for a while.
Craig Robinson, who played warehouse worker Darryl on the series from 2005 to 2013, announced on his Instagram last week that is he is leaving comedy.
“Hey, everybody! Just wanted you to hear it from me: I am quitting comedy,” Robinson said in the video. “But not for nothing. It’s been an amazing run, and y’all have been amazing and wonderful, but I’m following something bigger. So, thank you so much, I love you and stay tuned.”
His caption reiterated his comments, saying, “Life update: I’m officially quitting comedy to focus on my true calling. Stay tuned. I’m working on something huge.”
Robinson did not specify what exactly he was pursuing but gave a bit of a hint in a follow up post to his announcement.
“Turns out having a dream and building a business with your friends are two VERY different things. I can’t go into detail just yet, but for real though any help would be huge,” he wrote in the caption.
In the video, he added, “Big shout out to all my small business owners.”
He also asked for advice for trying to get his business “afloat,” saying he has “hit a few bumps in the road.”
Robinson is best known to audiences for his work on “The Office,” and has appeared in other show like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “The Cleveland Show,” and “What We Do in the Shadows.”
He’s also appeared in films like “Hot Tub Time Machine,” “This is the End,” and “The Bad Guys.”
There are still a few projects due to come out, including “The Bad Guys 2,” and the Netflix animated movie “In Your Dreams.”
