I actually found out while I was at a Blazers game in Sacramento. I wasn’t too upset at first. And they were upset that I wasn’t upset. The third season was tough on me. I was finally “cured” of my bipolar disorder but I could do no right on set. If people broke up and laughed on the set, no worries. But if I did, I was reprimanded. That’s just one example but I never felt they were happy with me that season. I had even told my therapist that I wanted off the show. The storyline they gave me for my exit would be fun to play so I focused on that. They never told me why they did it. It made no sense. Zack was a beloved character. After all these years, I’ve never been too upset even though I’d be set for life if I’d been in all 12 seasons. As it was, I lived comfortably for 15 years on residuals. Think how I would’ve been set making 4 times that. All these years later, I’m pretty happy. My residuals have slowed down, so I work which I’m fine with.
