George Eads is taking an early exit from MacGyver, according to THR.

The 51-year-old actor is set to depart the cast of the CBS drama after three seasons, which he has co-starred since the pilot.

Sources say that George allegedly had an altercation and stormed off the show’s Atlanta set back in October. He still had several remaining hours of production remaining for the day.

George is currently in production on the show but his character will be written out.

He reportedly had been asking to be let go from the series so he could spend more time with his young daughter in Los Angeles.

George‘s final episode is slated to air sometime in 2019.

Wilmer Valderrama poses with NCIS: Los Angeles stars Eric Christian Olsen and a pregnant Daniela Rush at the CBS panel held at 2016 Comic-Con on Thursday (July 21) in San Diego, Calif.

The 36-year-old actor is joining the cast of NCIS for the upcoming season to fill the void left by Michael Weatherly, but he says his character is not the new Tony.”

“[Weatherly] had a fantastic journey with the show. The truth is there’s no shoes to fill, I’m definitely wearing my own,” Wilmer told EW. “I’m excited because as a new member of NCIS I get to bring a new energy to it, a different dynamic.”

Also in attendance at the panel were MacGyver stars Lucas Till and George Eads, Zoo‘s James Wolk, and American Gothic‘s Justin Chatwin.
