7 Actors Who Had Ridiculous Reasons For Quitting A Role

Let’s be honest: we’ve all wanted to quit our job at a certain point in life. No matter how awesome your job is, or how awesome you think it is, there’s going to be that one moment where you’ve just had it. Most people will just let that moment pass, but a select few will roll with it and quit their job.

Even TV stars sometimes get to that moment and quit their job. And it’s not always for a good reason either – here’s a few of the more ridiculous ones. Be that either good or bad.

Isaac Hayes (South Park)

While we can imagine South Park providing its actors with plenty of reasons to leave their roles without anyone blaming them, Isaac Hayes chose a pretty weird one. We all know South Park loves mocking all types of religion, so Isaac leaving the show after the show’s creators mocked Scientology, Isaac’s religion, was a bit weird. I mean, it had to happen sooner or later, right?

Luke Grimes (True Blood)

This is a painful one if true, but according to HBO Luke Grimes left the show because he didn’t agree with his character becoming gay. Sounds like a petty thing to lose a role in one of the more popular shows of its time over, but I guess Luke disagreed with that.

Janet Hubert (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)

Remember when Aunt Vivian was suddenly another Aunt Vivian? Well, it turns out that the first actress who played the part, Janet Hubert, couldn’t stand Will Smith and felt he was a bit of an egomaniac. In fact, in the recent reunion, she was also painfully absent, claiming that Will Smith hadn’t changed one bit and she’d never do anything that he is attached to.
