New Zealand-born actor Martin Henderson has once shared his thought about leaving TV. Apparently, he never did so but what might be the reason behind his thought on that. Was it some professional issues or a personal one?
The reason behind the thought on quitting television!
‘Kick’ actor Martin Henderson, has invested fifteen years in Hollywood. He is known in Hollywood for his significant work in the horror film ‘The Ring’( 2002), short-lived series ‘Off the Map’ (2011) and recently for his role as Dr. Nathan Riggs in the medical drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy.'

Within the small period, the actor has been able to make an imprint in hearts of the audience. Undoubtedly, all his work must have made him busy in his life, and of course, the life of stars are hectic to manage. They have to give time to their fans, their fully scheduled work and of course they too have their personal life which need's to be taken care of.
All those work has made Martin Henderson’s life quite hard-pressed and made him think about giving up his career in television.
During an interview, he shared how he had set up his mind when he got to America. He admitted,
“When I came to America I never wanted to do television again. I grew up doing TV and it's a compromise - there's not enough time to rehearse to a point where you iron out all the problems, so you shoot from the hip and hope for the best, but with film there was a chance to get into it, in a way I'd never experienced.”
Furthermore, getting engaged to one work, working for the same role has made his schedule quite monotonous. He further added,
“Once I tasted that I went, 'Right, I'm never doing TV again.' And I was 25, so the idea of being tied down to one job for more than six months gave me the creeps. I had opportunities and ran from them, fast.”
On top of that, he divulged that he was leaving his dream when he got a role for ‘Battle in Seattle.'
"But after a few years, I was in a hotel room in Vancouver doing Battle in Seattle with Charlize Theron, Ray Liotta and Woody Harrelson - great cast, lead role, subject matter I thought was politically important and just a cool job. I was living the dream I had when I left New Zealand, but by my early 30s I realised that was not a sustainable way of life for me.”
But back in mind, he also knew that he was not able to make time for his personal stuff; his dog and girlfriend.
“There were times I'd be away from my dog or girlfriend and it's just a shitty way to live. Always being away started to wear me down and as much as I loved the jobs, I didn't want work to take precedent over my life. I realized, I needed to go back on my idea of never doing TV."
In due course, what we can say is his professional life is disturbing certain aspect of his personal life. Well, it is no surprise when someone wants to spend quality time with beloved one, and maybe Henderson is also planning to make his girlfriend his future wife and having thoughts on getting married. But perchance are due to his work commitment the actor is still unmarried or waiting for a perfect time.
