Craig Robinson is retiring from comedy.
The actor, best known for his roles in The Office and Hot Tub Time Machine, made the official announcement at the end of June on social media.
“Life update: I’m officially quitting comedy to focus on my true calling. Stay tuned. I’m working on something huge,” he captioned an Instagram video.
Some of Robinson’s colleagues and fans took to the comments section of the post to react. While some wished Robinson well in whatever it is he chooses to do next, others felt that his video was meant as a joke.
“Yeah we ain’t failing for that, Doug Judy!” one Instagram user wrote.
“I hope it involves Music! You’re brilliant at whatever you chose to do,” read a message from actor David Arquette.
“We love you,,craig!!! Go big, my friend!!!” said actress Kate Flannery.
“Long as you ain’t becoming a preacher. Best of luck bro,” a fourth comment read.
Robinson posted another video on Instagram on June 30, asking for tips on running a small business.
“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 captioned the post.
Robinson hasn’t elaborated on what he’s doing or what his career plans are.
