According to his Wikipedia page (I had to look him up)

Dempsey declared that he would "walk away" from acting if he could and dedicate himself full-time to motorsports

That's pretty jalop to me. I wish I was rich so I could walk away from something I get paid millions from, to race around a circuit.

He does seem pretty jalop. The documentary so far has portrayed him as an actor that's had a successful career but is ready to move on to racing. He seems pretty dedicated too.

Before seeing the show I figured he was just a wealthy celebrity looking to do something cool but now I see that's not the case. I think he truly is devoted to and passionate about motor sport.

In fact, it almost seems like his acting career is a bit of a burden and is in some ways restricting him from committing as much time/effort as he would like.

Very good first episode. I almost wish they had aired this on Discovery proper so it could grab a wider audience. Good story and well-made from a documentary point of view.
