## Summary

Bailey Chase says California’s pandemic school restrictions were the “final straw” that led him and his family to leave Los Angeles for North Carolina. The actor said concerns about vaccine requirements for his children returning to school, alongside school closures and cancelled sports, made life in LA feel increasingly unworkable.

Chase, 54, lives with his wife Amy and their three children in Hendersonville, near Asheville, where Amy grew up. He said the move also brought the family closer to her parents and gave them easier access to school and activities, as well as a home they could not have afforded in Los Angeles. Chase described being an involved father when he is not filming and said he was uncertain about the proposed vaccine requirements at the time.
