Around seven years ago, actor Callum Blue took a good look at his life and decided he needed a break from show business. After starring in popular television series and films including Dead Like Me, Smallville, and The Princess Diaries 2, Blue set out on the road unsure if he’d ever return to Hollywood. Then a guest role in Season 8 of ABC’s hit procedural 9-1-1 came along and changed everything.
“I just had a seven-year sabbatical from acting. I was on a TV show and a movie at the same time, and I looked at my life and myself and decided I wasn’t very happy, even though I had this success and money around me. I told my agents that I was going on a road trip and I never came back,” Blue told Decider over Zoom. “I’ve had bits and pieces here and there over the years that were just straight offers. But 9-1-1 is my first job back from that sabbatical… and it has literally made me fall in love with acting again.”
