Spencer Pratt made his name as the guy audiences loved to hate on The 
Hills, but now says he's leaving the show to take his career in a 
totally new . and unexpected . direction.

"In the last few months I have discovered a new passion and new purpose 
to my life," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "With this in mind, I have decided to 
take a break from my obligations to MTV's The Hills and discontinue

USC, Pratt says he's headed to work for American Defense Enterprises in 
their cyber security division.

full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented 
challenges," he says.
