Whatever Happened To The Actor Who Played A.J. On The Sopranos?

Several people might give Robert Iler a lot of flack for quitting acting, but the star has his reasons. On the "Talking Sopranos" podcast, he went in-depth about his decision to stay away from the spotlight, having told his co-stars that finding work that he would enjoy and a role that would leave a lasting impression isn't as easy as people would assume. He also stated that any other job he would potentially find would never be as great as his time on "The Sopranos." "For me, I was extremely spoiled with my first thing ... There is a part of me that's like, if you do something else, you're going to mess it up," Iler confessed. 

However, there was some glimmer of hope when Iler revealed that he could see himself working in Hollywood again, especially in a darker role. "There are times when I think, no, never. And then there's times where, like, last week when I'm in quarantine, where I was watching 'Ozark.' It blew me away ... There's times where I'm sitting at home watching that, and I'm like, I could see doing something like this, and I would really enjoy it," Iler said.

Seeing Iler on a show like "Ozark" would be epic.
