Speaking to Newsweek before his Dancing With the Stars exit, Durant, whose acting credits include CODA and Netflix series You, spoke about his plans to return to his first passion after his time on the show was over.

"I'm ready to continue acting, I miss it!" Durant told Newsweek. "I miss being on set and I'm ready to be in the next production. I've been pitching a story that I'm part of and [in the project] I would create and write a character for myself so I'm hoping that works out."

"I hope Dancing With the Stars has shown who I am and what I can do and that I'm an artist," he added.
