What Happened To Michael Massee After Brandon Lee's Death?

"The Crow" hit theaters in May 1994, slightly more than one year after Brandon Lee's death, and it would make an impressive $51 million at the box office (via The Numbers). There was, however, one person of note who allegedly (and understandably) didn't watch the film, and that was Michael Massee, who went on a brief hiatus from acting after the accident that killed Lee, according to Variety.

Speaking to Extra in 2005, Massee said that Lee's death on March 31, 1993, was a "tragic accident," and that it took him a long time before he was able to move on with his life and talk about the incident. "It was a very slow and thoughtful process," he explained. "I didn't know it was thoughtful at the time, but I just took a year off and I went back to New York and didn't do anything. I didn't work ... I just spent [the time off] with close friends and family, just to get through it, like any of us get through a tragedy." He later added, "I don't think you ever get over something like that."
