10 Actors Who Asked To Be Written Out of TV Shows

1. Steve Carrell 

When Steve Carrell left The Office after seven seasons, the show’s directors believed the show would still be a success even without the talented actor. After confirming that the seventh season would be his last, most people assumed that Steve simply wanted to spend time with his wife. However, in his latest book, Steve noted that at that time, his contract with NBC was over, and NBC didn’t bother renewing his contract when he asked for better pay. After his departure, the show struggled with ratings leading to its eventual cancelation in 2013.
