4. Jeff Conaway
Jeff Conaway played the vain aspiring actor Bobby Wheeler in the comedy Taxi, and after three seasons, he decided it was time to step away. His drug problem had spiraled out of control, and he was eventually fired after being found high in his dressing room and unable to recite his lines. Conaway was already unsatisfied with his character, and he was tired of being the butt of the “struggling actor jokes.” He went on to appear in a bunch of short-lived series that were canceled before they could even get off the ground. He died in 2011 at the age of 60 from a drug overdose.
