2. John Francis Daley
Exited: Bones
Reason: Being given another chance to play a more significant role in a production
Est. Salary Forfeiture: $35,000-$50,000 per installment*
For almost a decade, actor John Francis Daley portrayed Lance Sweets in the renowned detective thriller Bones. While Sweets was assassinated, he was just moments away from becoming a father with his fiancée, Daisy, which made the tenth season premiere of the program a dramatic one. He had been too entangled in the very mysterious FBI plot. Fans lamented Daley’s exit from the beloved program by the people, but they may not be aware that Daley requested to be removed from the program.

Daley asked to be released to produce several film projects because he also is a renowned comic writer (he authored many of the beloved comic skits that the country has enjoyed for many years in the past.). That appears like a pretty decent enough excuse to bid farewell to a role that pays quite handsomely. But to look at it at a strictly financial perspective, the decision would result in a better financial outcome for the actor. As much as it sucks, we have to say goodbye to this likable character.
3. Steve Carrell
Exited: The Office
Reason: Contract renewal conflict led to this separation
Est. Salary Forfeiture: $175,000 per installment*
Supporters of the hit sitcom The Office became heartbroken when lovable Steve Carrell’s character Michael Scott decided to leave the show behind, creating a significant hole that caused the program’s ratings to drop and its cancellation following season nine, just two seasons after. In the seventh season, Carrell departed the program, and as was being talked about those days, it was believed that he did so in order to concentrate on his movie profession as an actor.

In the springtime two years ago, a fresh book was published, and it turns out that actually wasn’t the cause. It appears that his NBC agreement had expired. He requested a raise, but NBC refused to extend his employment and did not extend him another contract. NBC initially believed the program would continue without the goofing manager of the branch, but it actually saw a significant decline in ratings. It’s hard to comprehend how NBC assumed the program would go on without such an integral cast present in the program. The rest of the cast definitely had their fair share of amazing moments in the program but what Michael Scott brought to the table was something nobody could just copy.
