Greg Pitts of 'Office Space' now a real estate agent (VIDEO)

Greg Pitts, the "Office Space" actor of the legendary "O face," has traded in his life on set to become a real estate agent.

Pitts has reportedly moved back to his hometown of Venice, where he has taken up a second career away from the cameras and the fame.

Pitts' family has been in the property business for generations: His grandfather developed the Sorrento Shores Community and his father runs a real estate business. According to the Herald Tribune, his brother is also a realtor.

Why the switch?

"I knew I always wanted to come back, at a bare minimum to buy a second home here. For me, acting became a little less satisfying as a career because I didn't feel engaged enough," Pitts told the publication.

Pitts has already taken up a job with Coldwell Banker, which both his father and brother are associated with. He received his realtor license in 2011 and recently closed his first deal as an agent.

"Even if its 10 or 11 p.m., if I see something I like, he responds right away. Any place, any time, he's available," said Stacey Licking, who enlisted Pitts as a realtor.

Pitts first started off as a business major in college, but changed route soon after he realized his passion lied in acting.

"I went into college and decided that I would maybe major in business and maybe take some acting classes. I was sitting in an accounting class and the guy was talking at the front..." and there was a point when he said to himself, "there is no way in hell I want to do anything associated with this," reports Lumino Magazine.

Pitts shot to fame with his stint in the 1999 comedy flick "Office Space." The film was a flop in the theaters but picked up through DVD sales later on. Pitts played Drew, an intolerable office colleague. Check out the "O-face" clip below:

Talking about how the onscreen "O-face" affected his off-screen sex life, Pitts said in an interview:

"I think people who don't really know me think I'm a bit of a deviant because of that. Maybe I am a little, I don't know. I'm pretty sure it got me laid once in New Orleans in 2000. God I wish I had that girls' number! But I digress."
