He's chasing acting roles again after years away, balancing this with other jobs since residuals from his 80s sitcom only bring in a few thousand. Bucks a year. He got inspired watching Star Trek, Discovery, seeing gay actors in a real storyline, which clicked for him as a gay man who'd left the industry.

Public reaction has been straight fire, no shade like when Jeffrey Owens got dragged for working at Trader Joe's back in 2018 folks. Rally for him then, and now they're hyping Pintaro, relating to the gig economy grind everyone feels. Beyond deliveries, he's teaching acting to kids at a camp, running his own coaching studio, crafting custom miniature book nooks that take up to six, hours each, and he even managed a huge PF Chang spot before.
