Controversial Cast Exits: Jeff Garlin

[JamesG]

Although Jeff Garlin has had a very successful career in entertainment, his nine-season run on ABC's "The Goldbergs" was cut short due to his own on-set behavior.

"The Goldbergs" was a nostalgic look back at 1980s suburbia, with Garlin playing family patriarch Murray, whose attitude toward the family bordered on apathy and conservatism. During production of the ninth season, it was decided by ABC that Garlin would not return to the series amidst an HR investigation into inappropriate on-set behavior.

Rumors alleged that Garlin was verbally abusive to castmates on set, and that many cast and crew members were uncomfortable with his use of blue humor and foul language. The remainder of his scenes in Season 9 were compiled together using outtakes and CGI, before the character was killed off-screen ahead of the show's 10th and final season.
