"T.R. Knight - Dr. George O'Malley wants to leave GA"

I sensed this was coming, but now it's official:

2264" target="_blank">T.R. O'Malley asks to be released from his contract

A person with direct knowledge of the situation has confirmed that T.R. Knight has asked to be released from his contract with "Grey's Anatomy."

The actor, who plays Dr. George O'Malley, has asked to leave the ABC medical drama because he is unhappy with his storyline, the person said. Knight has three years left on his contract and the network has indicated they will release him, said the insider, who could not be identified because they were not authorized to discuss negotiation details.

An ABC representative declined comment.

Entertainment Weekly magazine first reported news of Knight's request Tuesday in a posting at ew.com. Writer Michael Ausiello quoted a person at ABC who was not identified as saying that the show and "Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes were prepared to let the 35-year-old actor go.

Good riddance. What an ego. He is part of an ensemble cast, yet he's whining b/c his character isn't getting as much screen time. Mer, Der, and the Chief aren't either, but they aren't whining. Good grief! As if all of the previous seasons didn't have an overload of George!

Well, the screen time he does get IS pretty lame.

Tho - if I were a wannabe actor/ess and busted my butt for probably years to get a job and finally landed a gig on a successful series you'd have to strap dynamite to my butt to get me to leave! I don't understand these people who forget so easily how hard it was prior, so he leaves and we forget who he is, what good does that do him?

Major Spoiler in this link (with plot details)

The thing that is annoying is the way that the producers say that so and so is going and then the next moment saying, no they are staying. Then the actors say that they don't know if they are going to continue or not.


Three is the perfect number.
