Robert Kazinsky has declared that it's "almost impossible" to get acting work in the UK.
The ex EastEnders star - who left the soap as bad boy Sean Slater last Christmas - says the only jobs he's got since quitting Albert Square have been abroad.
He told TV Biz: "I've only been offered reality and celebrity based TV here and that's not what I'm interested in doing.
"I think it's the market at the moment. There doesn't seem to be any work around.
"None of my actor friends are working, it's almost impossible. The work I've been doing has been more in other countries."
After his exit from Walford, the 25-year-old - currently promoting Radox's Be-Selfish campaign - filmed a small part for George Lucas' war film Red Tails and has secured a role in upcoming Irish TV drama Love.
Meanwhile, Rob says he'd never rule out a return to EastEnders and insisted Sean's exit, which saw him sneak out of a frozen lake in an eerie manner, didn't mean he was a ghost.
He laughed: "When did EastEnders become surrealist? I don't know why people thought Sean was a ghost!
"He was there, Roxy saw him and he wondered off. He's still out there, he hasn't died but he's probably in a mental home sometime.
"Maybe one day he'll come back with someone else playing him. I'd never say never to returning but at this point in time I can't see it happening because I've got so much on. But who knows what will happen in the future?"
The Radox Be-Selfish campaign encourages women to spend the extra hour the clocks going back brings later this month on themselves.
For the campaign Rob strips off and gets into a bath. See him bare all at www.be-selfish.co.uk
