Performer Tosh Greenslade has taken up a new career as a copywriter and told his agent he is no longer available for auditions.
The former Mad as Hell star took to social media to thank followers for 11 years of support after recently expressing frustration in opportunities outside of the long-running ABC show now he has a young family to take care of.
Well… that’s it. I’ve got a normal job now, so it’s unlikely you’ll see me on television again. Thank you for putting up with me for 11 years. It was fun. #madashell #hardquiz

I’ve told my agent I’m done auditioning. Given that I was very rarely asked to anyway, I think the chances of me being cast in something are pretty slim. I’m focussed on working my way up in my new career now. I’m enjoying it and feel valued for possibly the first time ever.

I felt valued by the people who worked on Mad as Hell, just not by anyone else in the industry. I was the one member of the cast who didn’t really work between seasons. I’m very content now though.

Greenslade also says new ideas were rejcted by ABC.
The ABC were pitched a lot of things. They said no.

Shaun Micallef recently said of Greenslade’s “Lamentable Puns” character,“That’s such a lovely character from Tosh. I love the way that he every time we start the sketch he’s hopeful that it will be a celebration of his work because his character is so optimistic.
“Of course it’s always going to be bagging him but he just can’t quite understand why we’re doing it to him. It’s a really lovely acting job from Tosh.”
Thanks Tosh for your many MAH characters and lovely interview with TVT.

I’m glad he is happy with his new career, but wow what a shame we will not be able to enjoy his work on TV again, I can only hope he still makes the occasional appearance.
Such a loss to our screens. His comic timing and versatility was so perfectly utilised in MAH and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see more of him (and the other cast members). Best of luck to him!
