Isaiah Washington, popularly known for his character Dr. Preston Burke in Grey’s Anatomy will quit acting blaming “haters” for his early retirement.
He tweeted, “It is with a heavy heart and a sense of relief that I am announcing my early retirement from the entertainment industry today.”
“Those who have been following/witnessing my journey here on Twitter since 2011 all know that I have fought the good fight, but it seems that the haters, provocateurs, and useful Idiots have won.”
He gave further reason saying, “I’m no longer interested in the back and forth regarding a ‘color construct’ that keeps us human beings divided nor am I interested in politics or anything vitriolic. I will be traveling this great country before it falls into Socialism and then Communism. Until then, know that this Frederick Douglass Conservative will keep his powder dry and loves you all! I am truly grateful for your support over the years. It looks like CORSICANA #CorsicanaMovie may be the last time you see me as an Actor born here in America. Just know that I will be posting a few pictures of my retirement shenanigans here and there but until then. Be safe out there. Your loved ones love you and need you. SALUTE!”
His upcoming film, Corsicana which will be his final onscreen performance is a must-watch for fans who adore him.
