The former 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' actress was worried she would never be able to land a role again after taking a long hiatus following her 'Crazy Ones' co-star's tragic death.

AceShowbiz - Sarah Michelle Gellar was afraid she might never act again after taking a career break. The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star took a hiatus from Hollywood back in 2014 to focus on raising her two children - Charlotte, 12, and Rocky, nine, with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. - and Sarah has confessed she worried there might not be a place for her when she decided to go back to work.

"Your job may not always be there. You can be surpassed by other people; interests change," she told the Guardian newspaper.

Sarah decided to make the huge life change after the 2014 death of Robin Williams - whom she was working with on sitcom "The Crazy Ones" - insisting the tragedy convinced her to focus on her family.

She said, "When we lost Robin, it was this whole reset for me, 'Everything's going by really fast, and I'm missing it.' When I did the pilot for 'The Crazy Ones', my son was two months old - it was nonstop, and I needed to be at home for a while."

However, Sarah felt her place in Hollywood had already changed before her career break as she felt like she didn't fit many roles after she hit her 30s - so she felt it was a good time to step back.

She explained, "When you are mid- to late 30s in this business, and you look young like I do, you're not getting the meaty wife or mother roles, because you don't look old enough - but you're too old for the ingenue. It's a weird position to be in."

Sarah had been planning to return to Hollywood shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic struck so her career break was extended as the health crisis shut down movies and film productions across the globe. She finally got back to work last year with a part in Netflix's teen comedy "Do Revenge" and she's now appearing in Paramount+ series "Wolf Pack".
