TV shows run for a long time if they are popular and these actors play these roles for a long time as well, which then become synonymous with their identities, And while many actors are okay with playing roles for a long term, some want to move on and in that process that means quitting the show.

Here we are taking a look at a list of actors who have quite popular shows to avoid leaps, or because they were unhappy for some reason, or because of personal reasons.
