As a reminder, Bones actually aired its final episodes in 2017, so it's been roughly three years since Eric Millegan booked an acting gig. That may be in part due to the current state of the world, but in the years since Bones left the airwaves, pretty much all of Millegan's former castmates have moved to other projects. In spite of his continued on-camera absence, Millegan was clear in a 2018 interview with FanSided that acting is still his top priority, even as he continues to be picky about what his next gig will be. "I'd love to do another series," he said. "It's about finding the right series and the right role."
Millegan then went on to to assert that his next role may not be an on-camera gig at all. "I would love to do theater again," he said. "My goal when I came out of college was to be on Broadway, and I got that opportunity in the 2000 revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, and I'd love to do work like that again."
While he continues to seek his first post-Bones gig, Millegan has more than kept himself busy as a vocal advocate for mental health rights. That cause is also a deeply personal one for the actor, who was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 2006 (in the early days of his Bones gig). After struggling with the condition himself, Millegan is out to ensure the right sort of help remains readily available for others. The impassioned actor was recently even offered a chance to speak on his struggles to a United Nations panel studying the disorder's impact on a global scale.
Millegan has also penned a screenplay based on his own battles with mental health. It seems that, even as he awaits his next step in the acting world, Millegan has plenty of good work to keep him busy.
