Sean Avery quits off-Broadway play over pizza.

Sean Avery may need to start looking for a new way to earn now that he's retired from the game of hockey. Unfortunately I don't think he'll be getting too many more acting jobs after his latest stunt. The former NHL pest had a total meltdown on the set of his off-Broadway play, "Negative is Positive," quitting the production two days before it was scheduled to open, the New York Post reports. Avery reportedly lost it when a stage manager offered him a slice of pizza. Here's more context, according to the Post: On Monday, Avery left rehearsals early after growing agitated. On Tuesday, Avery’s behavior grew worse. According to (the play's author, Christy) Smith-Sloman, when a young assistant stage manager named Natalie asked the athlete-turned-actor if he wanted a slice of pizza, he said no, but somehow thought the assistant had called him an (bleep)hole. “He said I was ‘talking (bleep)' and said I was ‘so full of (bleep),'” the stage manager said. “That’s when I realized that I was dealing with a madman.” The Director Andreas Robertz said Avery then said to him, "Don't you know who I am?" at which point the former NHL pest stormed out. "He’s a playwright’s worst nightmare," Smith-Sloman said. “It’s unbelievable he would do this two days before we open. At this point I don’t want him to be a part of this production. He can’t call people pieces of (bleep) and say, ‘Do you know who I am?’ (He) can’t threaten people.” The play opens Thursday, Avery will reportedly be replaced by an understudy.
