The Real Reason Kelly Carlson Stopped Acting

As it turns out, there's no huge scandal or juicy backstory as to why Kelly Carlson left Hollywood. After Nip/Tuck, Carlson went on to star in the CW's Melrose Place and then Ghostfacers. She also starred in one episode of The Finder and was in the movie Jimmy, per IMDB. After that, nothing. Luckily, Carlson recently spoke about her career these days on an Instagram Live when a fan asked her what she was working on. Carlson told the fan that she and her husband, Dan Stanchfield, moved to San Diego for his job and it's just a matter of not being close enough to Los Angeles to work. 

She said (via People), "Why am I not acting? Not for any reason, really. Just that we live far away. I need to be in L.A. and we're not for my husband's work, which is down — he's in the Navy, so we're way down in southern San Diego. And that's kind of it." She added that her husband also teaches survival skills classes, so they have to be sort of far out of the city. "Now he's the star of the family and I'm the manager wife," she concluded. 

Makes sense to us!
