Colin Egglesfield Disappointed To Be Leaving Melrose Place
October 23rd, 2009
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has been shown the door, now actor Colin Egglesfield has been axed from Melrose Place, with the actor saying, “It’s kind of crazy. It’s like, How?! Why?!“ Read on to find out what else he had to say.
“I got the call this morning from our producers, Todd [Slavkin] and Darren [Swimmer],” Egglesfield told E! News. “They were really saddened, and you could tell it was difficult for them to break this news to me. They said it was a network decision, and they said the network thought Auggie was a little too dark, with his alcoholism. They felt like in the landscape of Melrose they wanted to change the tone of the show. So that’s the explanation that they gave me.”
He adds, “They said that it wasn’t anything against me or my talent or anything. There was never any discussion that they weren’t sure what they were going to do with me or my character. And it wasn’t like I was getting in fights with crew members or punching people out.”
The 36-year-old says he has a bunch of auditions already lined up and has one more episode of the show to shoot before he parts ways with the series.
“It’s kind of crazy,” Egglesfield continues. “It’s like, How?! Why?! I’m not spending too much time thinking about it, because it’ll just drive you crazy, if you try to figure something out that you’re never going to figure out. I’m just focusing on [other stuff].”
