Angus dramatically ceased acting a decade ago after suffering a religious awakening and denouncing Two And A Half Men as 'filth.' He has lived a secluded life in Los Angeles for the past several years, but he has only recently returned to the public eye very often. When he was seen stepping out this week, he trimmed a casual figure in a loose-fitted grey t-shirt and a turned-back red baseball cap.
