Andrew Lincoln
Who would have thought that the guy who plays Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead is British? At any rate, Andrew Lincoln lives across the pond when he is not working on the show. While he was starring on the zombie show, he had to be away from his family for around half a year since he needed to stay in Georgia while shooting. After some time, he was no longer willing to make such a big sacrifice and quit the show. He was written off in the ninth season. In July 2019, he announced that he was going to come back but not for the show. The actor is instead going to reprise the role same for the TV movies.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
The next person on our list is another LOST alum! Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje portrayed Eko on the show and was supposed to stay on for four seasons. However, he wanted to get out of it after only one season. The actor decided to do this after the death of his parents. This made him want to return to London and be there with his family. In the end, the producers agreed. Even though they offered the actor to make a guest appearance in the finale of the show, he said no. He is a busy guy who even appeared in Suicide Squad and Thor: The Dark World.
