The actor is leaving the military drama after its seventh and final season, because he has decided to listen to his body. ‘It doesn’t move like it used to!’, he said.
SEAL Team star David Boreanaz is listening to his gut, and the rest of his body.
“My body just can’t do it anymore!” he told People News Outlet. However noted that, he and his fellow cast members in SEAL TEAM Season 7 were dedicated to telling the story of elite soldiers in the most authentic way possible.
“There were no shortcuts,” Boreanaz, 55,
He recalls directing a scene where he had to carry a 250-lb. stunt double on his back.
“Ten feet in, I hit a rock, and my ankle twists, and I fall flat down. My ankle is ballooning, but I had to keep going. You learn from the SEALs how to push through pain. I’m talking about guys who have had their arm blown off and are cracking jokes because that’s how they deal with it. It’s very intense,” he says.
He continues, “I take good care of myself, but it gets to a point where your body’s not moving like it used to… I think I’ve had four MRIs in the past four months, for my knees, hips, shoulders. It’s been quite a journey.”
Boreanaz also told PEOPLE News Outlet that, the response he gets from Navy SEALs has been amazing. “They thank me for the real representation,” he says.
On the plans for the future, the actor, who first rose to fame playing Buffy’s love interest, Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and later starred on its spin-off Angel, says he has other work in the pipeline, but nothing he can talk about yet.
“I have plans,” he said. “My work ethic is always head on a swivel, be in the now, don’t look back, don’t look far down the pipeline.”
