Lauren Cohan
One of the longest members of the cast of The Walking Dead would be Lauren Cohan. The actress had to fight hard to get equal pay with the male stars of the show since they had all been working on the show for the same amount of time. Sadly, she ended up losing this fight. This was the reason she left the show during its ninth season. Isn’t it ridiculous that the network refused to grant her very valid request? The actress said that she will “always love Maggie,” but she could no longer play her for this reason. Even though there are still rumors that she will return, nothing has been confirmed yet.
Michael Weatherly
This actor is best known for playing Tonny DiNozzo on NCIS. He took on this role for 305 episodes and became a fan favorite before he left in the thirteenth season. His character was written off after learning that the mother of his daughter died in Israel during an attack. The real reason the actor departed was that he was “burnt out” and wanted to work on new things. It was a risky thing for him, this much is clear. Another thing that motivated him to leave was that he was upset over the departure of Cote de Pablo from the show. Aside from the police procedural, he was also in Bull.
