Comedian and actor John O’Hurley says he’s “reluctantly” still living in Los Angeles, but likely not for much longer. The “Seinfeld” actor is thinking about joining the growing number of celebrities leaving California for other parts of the United States.
“I really am realizing I don’t need to be [here],” O’Hurley said on Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show.”
“A lot of the work that I do is voice work. A lot of it I can fly in for. I did five movies this year. I didn’t do a single one of them in Los Angeles.”
O’Hurley added that California’s shrinking film industry is part of what’s driving people away, noting that most of his recent projects have been filmed in other locations like Georgia, Tennessee, and New York.

Los Angeles has experienced a significant decline in local film and TV production. According to FilmLA, on-location production for movies, television, commercials and other projects is down more than 22% from the same period in 2024.
Beyond logistics, O’Hurley said Hollywood’s cultural priorities have shifted.
“It’s also the Academy Awards demand now that you check all these boxes, or you cannot be nominated for an Academy Award. It’s absolutely silly,” he said.

O’Hurley isn’t the only person to have voiced frustrations with California. Other celebrities, including Mark Wahlberg, Sylvester Stallone, Jessica Simpson and Dean Cain, have moved to places like Las Vegas and Nashville.
Many have listed high taxes, crime, and political policies in the state as reasons they left. Actor Glen Powell recently told Vanity Fair that he chose to leave Los Angeles and move back to his home state of Texas.

“I needed a spiritual place where I could hang my hat and truly be unplugged,” he said.

Carlos Narváez added a sacrifice fly before Seattle finally escaped the inning on a diving catch by Dominic Canzone in right field.
Suarez issued a two-out walk that loaded the bases in the seventh on his final pitch of the night, but Justin Slaten ended the threat by striking out pinch-hitter J.P. Crawford to preserve a 5-0 lead.
Mayer added one more insurance run with a ninth-inning RBI double. The Mariners got on the board thanks to Julio Rodríguez’s two-run homer in the ninth.
Seattle starter Bryce Miller (3-1) struck out seven in five innings. He allowed three hits and one run.

Neymar expected to return from right calf injury and play for Brazil in World Cup against Scotland
Neymar is expected to return from a right calf injury and play for Brazil in its final World Cup group match, coach Carlo Ancelotti said Friday night.
Neymar missed Brazil’s first two games of the tournament, including Friday’s 3-0 win over Haiti.
Ancelotti said Neymar would go through individual training on Saturday, train with the team on Monday and “will be available” for Brazil when it closes Group C play against Scotland on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Neymar is Brazil’s career scoring leader with 79 goals in 129 international appearances.
The 34-year-old midfielder has yet to practice in full sessions with the team since reporting to Brazil’s squad while nursing the calf injury.
Looking to play in his fourth World Cup, Neymar had tests on his calf last Monday to determine the progress of the injury that he sustained while playing for Brazilian club Santos on May 17.
There was widespread debate in Brazil over whether Neymar, whose first World Cup was on home soil in 2014, should have been called up for the tournament. He has struggled since returning from tearing the ACL in his left knee in October 2023 in a World Cup qualifier.
Neymar has four goals and two assists in eight matches for Santos this year.
