Actor Jason Lewis participates in Entertainment Weekly's Brave Warriors panel at New York Comic Con on Oct. 7, 2018, in New York City.
Actor Jason Lewis returned to social media with a vague explanation for stepping out of the public eye over the past three years.
The "Sex and the City" alum, 54, posted a short video on Instagram on Thursday, May 21, walking on a beach while he directly addresses the camera. The post's caption read: "After three years, it was time."
"Three years ago, I went quiet. Not because I had nothing to say, but because I had something to do," he said in the video.
While he did not reveal what task kept him occupied for years, he hinted it was the "kind of creative work that doesn't leave room for much else."
He continued: "I made my peace with that. It's the kind of work that needs to find its people, though. I'm still in it. But I'm far enough along now that it felt like it was time to resurface and share what I've been doing.
"More to come," he teased.

Lewis has yet to be seen publicly since his 2022 brief stint on "Dancing with the Stars" Season 31, where he and partner Peta Murgatroyd were the first pair out of the competition.
In an interview with People, the "Charmed" actor explained that he agreed to join the dancing competition series after years of turning down invites because of his fianceé, actress Liz Godwin.
"This year, when the offer came in, my fianceé asked me to be a little less pigheaded and at least take a look at a show," he told the outlet. "It is incredibly beautifully done. The dancers are so talented."
All posts on Lewis' Instagram, aside from his May 21 video, have been scraped from his page.
Lewis is known for roles, such as model Smith Jerrod on "Sex and the City," artist Dex Lawson on "Charmed," and Chad Barry in "Brothers & Sisters."
