‘It’s time to move on’: Arno Greeff quits acting after 12 years

Actor Arno Greeff has announced that he is stepping away from acting after a 12-year career. Greeff is best known for his role as Chris Ackerman inBlood & Water. In an Instagram post, he said he had been contemplating the decision for several years.

“It’s something I have been thinking about for the past two to three years, and a lot has happened over the past couple of weeks that has solidified my decision to move on into a new era,” he wrote. Greeff clarified that he is not leaving the entertainment industry completely. “I might be doing some presenting still and be in commercials, but in terms of acting, filming, working on series, any long-form stuff, that is done.

“A lot of it is just about priorities; it’s not a priority for me anymore. I don’t want to be away from home and away from my family anymore, and over the past few years, I’ve lost my passion for it.” Reflecting on his time in acting, Greeff said he felt satisfied with his achievements. “I’m fortunate that I’ve had an amazing career.
