Stars Who Were Booted From Hit TV Shows
Robert Downey Jr. – Ally McBeal
It’s well-known that Robert Downey Jr. battled and overcame addiction. When he was dealing with the narcotics issue, it also took a toll on his career. Downey was shown the door several times, like when he got booted from Ally McBeal.
Downey portrayed Larry Paul in the legal comedy-drama, and his character was even set to walk down the aisle with the title character – Ally McBeal. When the showrunners caught wind that Downey’s addiction problem was resurfacing, they decided that it was in the show’s best interest to write him out. Thankfully, Downey has been sober since 2003.
