HOLLYWOOD - Patrick Swayze is rallying against reports he has ended his acting career due to his current battle with pancreatic cancer--insisting he didn't drop out of a new movie because of his illness.
The actor had reportedly withdrawn from the role of a gay cheerleading coach in Fired Up, while he undergoes chemotherapy treatment for the life-threatening disease.
But his representative has revealed he pulled out for "artistic" reasons--and also because he is waiting to discover if network A&E is going to commission a TV pilot he has shot called The Beast, reports the New York Daily News.
