The actor, who sang for the group 30 Odd Foot of Grunts alongside his acting career, has posted a message on his website, "My band would seem to have dissolved." The star admits that he's happy to have the opportunity to pursue a solo career in music, writing "I can now enjoy writing unrestricted, talking from my heart and my mind." He says that he is very satisfied with his first CD, Raewyn, which will be released on internet site iTunes on April 19. [photo: Tim Rue - Corbis]
