Ross started saying that it was Steve’s choice since he didn’t like doing movies much and was a reality show guy. He mentioned that Austin doesn’t want to give much time to production. The movie structure was not his cup of tea., Ross said. 

Lastly, he said that even though Austin got many opportunities, he didn’t have much fun doing that.

“That was Steve’s choice. He didn’t like doing them. He’s a reality show guy. He’s a guy that likes to get the production done in a few weeks as opposed to a few months. So the structure on a movie set, the hurry up and wait, we’re not shooting today, we’re going to change this, we’re going to do that, was not his cup of tea. He didn’t have a lot of motivation for it. He tried it. He had some good opportunities. He had some good shots. He just didn’t enjoy it.”
