   You basing all of that on the idea that he didn't quit ... which isn't   
   actually proveable. The only people who know what was in his contract   
   and why he left are those who were involved.   
      
   Either way, signing on  for an on-going TV show as the main character   
   knowing you're not staying IS stupidly selfish. Quitting after only one   
   season is also stupidly selfish. If the idiot didn't want to be   
   potentially "typecast", then he shouldn't have signed on in the first   
   place.
