Joe Pantoliano is looking for a change of scenery.
Pantoliano, 73, told his social media followers that he's even taken the steps to get out of the country and secure visas in Portugal.
"It's hard for me to think about people's bulls--t like making a TV show. The world is on fire, it's hard for me to concentrate."
Pantoliano and his wife, Nancy Sheppard, recently returned from a trip to Portugal, and they're thinking of planting new roots abroad.
"We just got back. We really love it there," he said before expressing concerns about the power grid following last month's 18-hour blackout, which affected both Spain and Portugal.
"They just got hit with a cyberattack, and I think that's just a rehearsal for what will happen here," he said.
Pantoliano admitted that that reason alone was enough for him to "keep a lot of cash at home, not a lot but enough to get me going for a couple [of] weeks."
He insisted the amount wasn't easy to find, though, and that it's "buried and there's no map."
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez later said a problem in the European grid that he described as a "strong oscillation" was behind the outage, but that the cause was still being determined. Spanish power distributor Red Eléctrica said that restoring power to the country and neighboring Portugal could take six to 10 hours.
