Hollywood is a fickle place, one day you are the "it" actor and the next you are not. Actors and actresses take a risk when taking on roles, that major role could be the break of a lifetime or a major flop. But some TV stars have bigger dreams of becoming movie stars and have succeeded with flying colors like a certain TV doctor, or a major franchise heroine or a certain popular wrestler who has made the move to top A-lister. When a celebrity leaves the hit role that made them popular they take the risk of not quite making the moves they thought they would.

But then there are the others, who took their major roles for granted and walked away at the height of their fame often never came close to the popularity they once had. Set fights, bad behavior, and big egos were the downfalls for some actors whose careers floundered after their mistake. Ohhh were their ego problems, one actor’s uncontrollable behavior got him fired from his hit show where he made millions, while another actress wanted more camera time despite being part of a huge ensemble cast and then dissed her production badly. But there were also many personal issues to take care of and movie opportunities that made celebs step away from their beloved role.

21 Ditched TV For Movie Stardom: George Clooney

George Clooney was one of the breakout stars for ER for five years before he bid adieu to his scrubs for the big screen full time and he’s never looked back. Well, that’s not entirely true as George did come back to the show for several cameos. But he set his sights on the big screen and thrived with movies, like Ocean's 11, Gravity and The Perfect Storm. He’s also taken up directing as well.

George had been a working actor for more than a decade before landing ER which would go on to give him the spark he needed. It was during the first season of the show where George realized the drama would change his life. 

"I was walking through the streets of New York halfway through the first season of ER, and I'd been on a lot of TV shows so people would kind of recognize me, 'It's that guy from that thing,'..."

"...And I remember walking down the streets in Manhattan and them going, 'Hey George,' and they knew your name as opposed to your character,’ he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I remember that was a moment where I thought, 'Things have changed.' " But he refused to complain, "Nobody wants to hear anybody complain, so I don't do it. I don't believe in it. But it did become very different, more complicated.”

20 Left Hit Show Too Soon: Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl dramatically left the hit show, Grey’s Anatomy that made her famous. She now says that she left the show in 2010 to raise her family in quiet lifestyle she told Good Housekeeping."We had big dreams of expanding our family, moving to the mountains and having a quieter life. Utah is spectacularly beautiful, the people are wonderful and kind, it's an easy commute from L.A. — and there's no traffic!" She was still making a movie which continued to interfere with her duties as a mom and she pulled back from her movie career as well for a few years. "I would come home angry and frustrated that I'd missed everything with my kid that day. I didn't get to wake her up from her nap, or do bath time or bedtime. I'd have to sneak into her room and kiss her when she was sleeping, hoping not to wake her."

While Katherine says he family life was why she stepped back it may really be when she caused a stir after she withdrew her name from the Emmy nominations stating her lackluster storyline that season.

"In an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention,"

she said according to the NYTimes in 2008. "In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials." Ouch, she later apologized to showrunner Shonda Rhimes and producers but the damage was done.

Katherine never quite recovered from Grey’s Anatomy and admitted in an interview with Howard Stern according to Us Magazine, that she needed therapy." I had never done therapy until a couple years ago. I started going because of the scrutiny. I was not handling it well. I was feeling completely like the biggest piece of [explicit] on the bottom of your shoe," she told Stern on Wednesday. "I was really struggling with it and how to not take it all personally and not to feel that there's something really deeply wrong with me."

19 Ditched TV For Movie Stardom: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

The Rock’s star has risen from failed football player to WWE Wrestling hero to action star. The major actor reveals he had a tough time transitioning from wrestler to actor."It kind of shook me a little bit because wrestling was all I knew at that time," Dwayne told Oprah. "I wanted to grow as an entertainer. I wanted to reach as many people as possible, not for the box office value of it, but for the connection." Dwayne took acting very seriously and his career took off. "If I made the transition into acting, I wanted to be great. I knew going in, the cards are stacked against me," he says.

"There's a shelf life to a career if I just wanted to get by on popularity. I didn't want to be in that position. I wanted longevity."

He reveals he was hesitant when bringing up his wrestling career at first but has since embraced it. ‘“When I first started in Hollywood I was told at that time by the management I had around me that you have to forget about your past and you can’t bring wrestling up, we have to slowly leave that behind and let’s not refer to yourself as The Rock, let’s make sure everyone’s calling you Dwayne Johnson,” he said according to Metro. "When you’re new in the business as I was, almost 18 years ago, you buy into it and you just don’t know because you want to make it and I was kind of flying by the seat of my pants and bought into that. It was a defining moment in my career when I finally decided I’m not going to be ashamed of my past. I love my past. Pro wrestling isn’t for everybody but it’s my life. You call me The Rock, you can call me Dwayne Johnson, you can call me daddy.”

18 Left Hit Show Too Soon: Shannen Doherty

Shannen Doherty’s rumored tension with castmates followed her from 90210 to Charmed. Shannen and Alyssa Milano had a reported feud while on the show, but Alyssa claims she doesn’t know what happened,“I don’t know if she got fired, we never really found out what happened,” Milano said according to Us Magazine. “I can tell you that we were on the air with her for three years and there were definitely some rough days. Holly [Marie Combs] and Shannen were best friends for like 10 years before the show started so it was very much sort of like high school. I would hope that in our thirties it wouldn’t feel like that anymore ... but it was the best job I’ve ever had in my life and certainly a learning experience.”

Shannen did hint at the feud with Alyssa when she spoke with ET according to Huffington Post…. “There was too much drama on the set and not enough passion for the work. I’m 30 years old and I don’t have time for drama in my life anymore. I’ll miss Holly a lot … she’s one of my best friends and I love her dearly, and there were never, ever, ever any problems between the two of us.”

At the time producers left Shannen to go and pursue other projects after three seasons with Charmed, "We have had a long and prosperous relationship with Shannen and we didn't want to hold her back from what she wanted to do," Spelling TV said in a statement according to ABC. Shannen also walked away from 90210 after a few seasons after a reported feud with Jennie Garth.

He has always planned to leave at the end of season seven, Executive producer, Greg Daniels said TV Guide. “Early on, everybody renegotiated and they added a year to their contracts, but Steve didn't. So everybody's contracts went through Season 8 except for Steve. So we knew very early on that he was going to leave at the end of Season 7. He was very upfront about it and he didn't play any games. Certainly, I was happy that he gave us seven years, considering that he became a huge movie star after Season 1 and he could have just made a ton more movies if he hadn't been doing the show.”

Steve reiterated that when he sat down with Ellen according to DailyMail.

"I had been preparing myself because I had known for about a year that I was going to be leaving this season. And, I thought I was emotionally prepared but, I was really surprised at how bittersweet it was..."

"...Everybody was crying. It was nice though. They're my friends. That was the difficult part of it is sort of moving on. I felt like I was senior and everyone else is a junior and I was graduating.” Steve already had a budding movie career with hits like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but he would go on to add Despicable Me, Crazy, Stupid, Love, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and Minions.

16 Left Hit Show Too Soon: Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton kind of fell off the radar when she abruptly left her hit show, The O.C.

I just felt like I was in a machine and I couldn't really get off. So it was time to step back. So I went back to England and it was just a year of real self-exploration. In a weird way, it parallels this week and that's made the whole thing like 100 times better," Mischa said according to ABC after being eliminated from Dancing with the Stars in 2016.

Mischa fell victim to the excess of fame and had been arrested driving while using substances in 2007. She left Hollywood and headed to London, where she was born to recoup. “It was one of those times that things culminated for better or worse,” she told People. “So I moved to Europe and was able to take time and really explore who I was and who I wanted to be.” She decided to go back to school and enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. “I needed that time for myself to really do that self-exploration and get back in touch with my roots. I just needed time to be me and be a regular person. That balance is important. I am nothing but happy to have had that time in my life.”

15 Ditched TV For Movie Stardom: Shailene Woodley

But when you're in a contract, unfortunately, you can't do that.”

But Shailene was grateful for the opportunity that made her popular.

“It was a fantastic five years of my life, but towards the end, morally, the things that we were preaching on that show weren’t aligned with my own integrity..."

"...So that was a bit hard to show up to work every day knowing that we were going to project all of these themes to thousands, millions, of young adults across the country, when in fact they weren’t what I would like to be sending out.” Shailene went on to star "Divergent," and "The Fault in Our Stars" and can be seen in HBO's hit show “Big Little Lies.”

We actually were playing high school students, and it would be like if two of your great friends from high school grew up, went to college, had jobs and then actually got together. It’s so cool.”Topher went on to star in Spider-Man 3, Valentine’s Day, and War Machine, but he’ll always be known as Eric Foreman.

But I can’t really talk about it without getting sad. Obviously, it’s been such a huge force in my life. [But] we feel like we have done right by these characters, and we’ve done right by the story? [Creator] J.J. [Abrams] tells more story in an episode than most shows do in four. So we really feel like we’ve covered this ground. It feels incredibly respectful and not exploitative to let this end naturally…. It feels like a graduation. Graduation is hard. Imagine your life without these people. Well, this is a year longer than college, and a lot more happened to me during this show than it did during college.”

Jennifer played Sydney Bristow for five seasons as a graduate student by day and a spy at night. She went on to star in Juno, Valentine’s Day, Dallas Buyer’s Club and MOther’s Day. She has three kids with Ben Affleck.

And that’s the death of one of their own, one of their contemporaries, one of their circle,” he says. “I thought if we [off] Jen that’s going to force our other three into action. If they haven’t made a decision, they’ll be forced to make a decision. Nothing will make you contemplate your future faster than knowing you might not have one. So, I chose Jen as a way for Joey, Dawson, and Pacey to finally pull their lives together. And to thrust them into adulthood once and for all.”

Michelle jumped onto movies after leaving the fan-favorite TV show. She starred in Brokeback Mountain with the late Heath Ledger, with whom she shares a daughter. She has been nominated for four Oscars.

For months before the suspension of production, Mr. Sheen’s erratic behavior escalated while his condition deteriorated.

I know a lot of people don’t understand mental illness & pass it off as ppl being dramatic…but it’s a chemical Imbalance that no one wants to struggle through. It’s not easy.”

We were always optioned for three years. And when that came up it was a very difficult decision. But it felt like a good time to take stock, to take a moment. From a personal point of view, I wanted a chance to do other things.It is a very monopolizing job. So there is a strange sense of liberation at the same time as great sadness because I am very, very fond of the show and always will be.” Dan just wanted to do something different. “It is a desire for freedom really. I don’t see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can. And I think a moment like this is quite unique and presents those opportunities more than ever before.

Matthew Perry aka Chandler once commented he wishes they could have done the show longer he said while hosting Piers Morgan Tonight according to EW in 2013,

And so I just started doing this back-and-forth from Sony to Warner Bros. for two weeks.”

Jason Priestley stuck around longer than Shannen Doherty did on 90210, but he would eventually depart before the show was over. He admitted in his book "Jason Priestley: A Memoir" that he may have left the show too soon. "I felt that the character of Brandon had kind of run his course. I had explored everything I wanted to explore with him," Priestley told CNN. "In retrospect, I do regret leaving. Understanding what I do now about story and character, I believe that [Aaron Spelling] was pushing the story in a direction that would have had Brandon and Kelly end up together at the end of the show and I think I probably should have stuck around to its fruition." He added that he thinks he hurt Aaron Spelling feeling when he left. "I think my departure also hurt Aaron's feelings. Aaron and I had worked very closely together for a number of years. He gave me a lot of opportunities, and I feel like my departure hurt his feelings and I never meant to do that."

Jason never found his second act after Brandon Walsh, but he has ventured into directing, which he put on on his directing hat for episodes of 90210 among other shows like 7th heaven and The Secret Lives of American Teenagers.

1 Ditched TV For Movie Stardom: Kristen Wiig

But I just always knew it was going to be seven and that was it," Kristen told Marie Claire,

"I think maybe if I were 22, I could see myself staying a little bit, but it just felt like the right time.  But the departure was very emotional. I just wanted to get through it without breaking down in every sketch. Because nothing says comedy like breaking down."

Kristen was even was given a warm goodbye for her time on the show, "It was a very surreal moment. You have all this stuff going on in your head, like, 'I can't believe seven years have gone by, and I'm going to miss all these people.'
