T.R. Knight

T.R. Knight is yet another Grey’s Anatomy’s alum on this list. He played George for many years, making $350,000 per episode. However, his exit wasn’t under the best circumstances.

After five seasons, Knight decided to leave the show, citing creative differences between himself and the legendary show-writer, Shonda Rhimes. For what it’s worth, co-star Isaiah Washington (Dr. Burke) was accused of on-set verbal abuse, which eventually led to him being let go. One can only wonder if these two facts are intertwined.
