10 Actors Who Asked To Be Written Out of TV Shows

3. Andrew Lincoln

Unknown to many, famous Walking Dead actor Andrew Lincoln is British, and his wife and kids are based in England. Rumors of his imminent departure rocked the internet until he came out to confirm the rumors in 2018. The actor asked the directors to write off his character, alluding to the fact that for the eight seasons he was part of the show, he used to spend six months away from his family, a thing that didn’t feel right. Since Andrew was a central character in the show, fans were worried that the series would lose its general direction. It seems the other cast members stepped up because the show is currently thriving.
