Why didn't Chris Lemmon have a more prolific acting career

[TMC]

It's like he had a career for a few years and then disappeared. After Duet/Open House, his most noteworthy acting gig was probably on Thunder in Paradise alongside Hulk Hogan. Maybe given that he's Hollywood royalty (his dad is Jack Lemmon), Chris could've naturally been able to get more millage out of himself in Hollywood. Especially considering that Chris looks exactly like his dad.
