Mike Parr is "bored" after being unemployed for the last two months.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ actor left the soap recently after five years as Ross Barton, and while he said at the time he wanted to pursue other dreams – including breaking America – he is yet to have landed another role.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "I know there are many factors for why ppl don’t/can’t work but in my experience of not having a job which has almost lasted two months now…. it is boring. So boring. There’s just naff all to do! (sic)"
His former cast mate Samantha Giles (Bernice Blackstock) was quick to reply with words of support as she told him to "hold his nerve", adding that "something good will come up".
When a fan suggested he should have stayed on the soap, she replied: "He was brave to go and he’s an actor so he wants to play lots of roles! Never play safe- life is for living and that means taking risks!! (sic)"
Meanwhile, fellow star James Moore (Ryan Stocks) has also responded to Mike’s tweet, but he couldn’t resist joking that he needs a secretary if his pal is struggling for work.
Mike quipped: "This is the 6th time you’ve tried to get me to do things to or for you wearing a skirt. I will call the police if there’s a 7th time. (sic)"
James cheekily replied: "Have you seen the Queen video for ‘I Want To Break Free’? Cause that’s what I was going for. You’ve just taken it the wrong way obviously. (sic)"
