David Comes Out Of Hiding
1978
Now David, 27, has surfaced to star in a two-hour episode of television's "Police Story," which will be aired on a date to be announced. It is the first step in reestablishing his career.
"I'm glad the mania is over," he said. "It was an incredible trip and tremendous experience to go through. I enjoyed it, but I stopped because I was overworked. I didn't think I could take that part of my career any further.
"I needed a readjustment to living and to get in touch with myself and my friends.
"The key to survival is that I left the experience at the peak. It didn't leave me. Rejection is what really takes its toll on young people in the business.
"When I hung 'em up, there were all kinds of offers waiting for me - TV series, record contracts and even movies. But I refused to let anybody with tons of money seduce me into going on."
