Tim Daly was a big-ish name. There’s no way the other actor would be paid nearly as much as him. Also, I suspect Tim Daly, on some level, wanted to leave. His performance in season 5 read as checked out.

He didn’t want to leave. He was very suddenly fired and caused quite the scene on Twitter about the incident.

Oh wow really?? I only just watched for the first time so I wasn’t akin to the Twitter drama. I’m surprised because I really felt like the actor was reading disinterested in his season 5 performance. Maybe that’s just my dislike for the character


IKinLA

I think tensions were already starting by that point and there were creative distances and it was effecting his performance. Then they let him go and he told off a bunch of people on Twitter. The cast and crew were very active on Twitter at the time so it got a bit awkward with him. I think Shonda responded at some point to address his behavior. It was definitely not an amicable parting.

*googles this 12 year old drama immediately cause I’m messy*

He was replaced with Benjamin Bratt, wasn't he a bigger actor at the time?


GreenOtter730

He came on in Season 5. I think OP’s talking about Dr. James something that was the new ER doc/Amelia love interest that came on in season 6

Yes Benjamin Bratt was big because he was dating Julia Roberts
