“Sex and the City” alum Jason Lewis has resurfaced in a new video after being away from the public eye for more than three years.
The actor shared an Instagram clip on Wednesday showing him walking on the beach, giving his followers a cryptic explanation as to why “it’s finally time” to make a comeback.
“I just fell silent,” Lewis said. “Not because I had nothing to say, but because I had something to do.”
The 54-year-old continued: “This kind of creative work doesn’t leave a lot of room for other things. And I agreed with that. But it’s the kind of work where you need to find people.”
Lewis didn’t reveal what the project was, but said that while it was “still being worked on,” it was “enough advanced that I felt it was time to resurface and share what I’ve been up to.”
“After 3 years, the time has come,” Lewis wrote in the caption.
Lewis was last seen in public in late 2022 when she competed on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars. He was partnered with Peta Murgatroyd, and they were the first couple to be eliminated.
At the time, Lewis said his fiancée, actress Liz Godwin, convinced him to appear on the ABC competition show after years of refusing.
“When the offer came this year, my fiance told me to be a little more outside-the-box and at least watch the show,” he told People, revealing that the couple was “in awe” when they watched the episodes together.
Lewis added of the show: “It’s incredibly beautifully done. The dancers are so talented.”
After his elimination, Lewis called his time on the reality show “challenging” and “a little scary.”
“This is an incredible group of people,” he told TV Insider. “I am very grateful to be able to participate in this activity.”
Lewis is best known for playing Smith Jerrod, the young male model lover of Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), on Sex and the City from 2003 to 2004. He also appeared in the 2008 SATC film and its 2010 sequel.
The actor was not asked to appear in the sequel series “And Just Like That.”
“I’ll be the last to know!” Lewis told Daily Front Row before the show’s 2021 premiere.
“I appreciate the compliment, but the conversation is about girls,” he added.
Lewis’ last acting role was in the 2018 NBC supernatural series ‘Midnight, Texas.’
