32. Lisa Bonet
Exited: A Different World
Reason: Creative point of views clashed with others
Est. Salary Forfeiture: $35,000 per installment*
In the 1980s and early 1990s, Lisa Bonet portrayed the wide-eyed teenager Denise on several shows that actually share the same universe and concept. Fans were upset when Bonet left the show in 1991 since Denise definitely was among the most beloved characters on the program in comparison to the rest of the cast members.
The performer sought to find a path to follow to continue on the program, despite the fact that many viewers believed Lisa’s choice to depart was purely personal given that she was expecting her baby during that period. As it turned out though, conceptual conflicts among members of the cast were the last straw for her to decide.
33. Justin Chambers
Exited: Grey’s Anatomy
Reason: Sought to widen his horizon and influence in the industry
Est. Salary Forfeiture: $125,000 per installment*
Justin Chambers left Grey’s Anatomy after spending a decade and a half as a cast member. In the initial portion of 2020, the actor announced his departure and claimed there clearly was “no suitable moment” to do so because Grey’s Anatomy actually had, positively or negatively for the greater part of twenty years, “shaped [his] existence.”
According to rumors, Chambers departed in order to broaden his playing roles and opportunities for his career. He want fresh roles that weren’t focused on medical-themed programs. And as a fitting format for his departure, the final episode that he got involved in actually portrayed the same idea of spreading his wings in another place. Among the main characters in several dramatic narratives is by far Alex Karev. He is somebody that you would call an O.G. of the program as he is the last man standing from the original cast which is amazing to think considering that even now in 2022, the program is still ongoing and is not showing any signs of slowing down.
