His wife told him she would tell the world about his violent temper

This former A list mostly television actor who was in some of the biggest television shows of all-time took some time off from acting. Not because he wanted but because his wife told him she would tell the world about his violent temper and his beatings unless he went to therapy. The wife made our actor go every day for a year before she let him even think about acting again. He ended up taking almost two years off before working again this year.
