Before I unplug from social media and take a break from the hectic world of business, there's some unfinished work that I need to attend to. I'm proud of the several films that are set to release soon, and I'm excited to produce a few TV stories that I'm passionate about. As for returning to Broadway, I have some exciting plans in store - but I'll share more about that later. In the meantime, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all my followers and readers who have been incredibly kind and supportive throughout my career. I never take my success for granted, and I feel truly blessed. Wishing you all the best, and I'll catch you later down the road.
