Mike Wolfe appears to giving the silver screen a shot, and, as a result, taking a break from “American Pickers.”

Longtime co-host Frank Fritz died in September died in September, and Wolfe now is taking some time for himself.

“We haven’t done that in 15 years, so that’s going to feel good,” he told PEOPLE.

At 60, Wolfe is open to new ideas.

“You want to do another show?” he asked. “I’m doing another show. You want me to have a part in the scripted project? I’m doing it. I’m excited about the next chapter of everything.”

Wolfe debuted last week in the “Day of Reckoning” with Billy Zane.

“I was like, ‘Okay, maybe I can. I don’t know if I’m fighting above my weight here,‘” Wolfe said.
