terrence- was he underpaid?

He was goofy, but likeable enough. He just up and vanished from the show though and I was wondering if anyone knows why he was written out. It seems like the two new fellows who were there in year 6 replaced his role in the show. Also, none of these actors were officially listed as regulars in the main titles although they functioned as regulars. They had story lines revolve around them and appeared just as much or even in some cases more than some of the official players. I may be wrong about this but I assume that only the actors whose names appear in the main credits of a show receive residual monies from the reruns. Perhaps Terrence (Cory Tyler) quit because they didn't want to upgrade him to being a main player and pay him accordingly. Jada Pinkett and Ajai Saunders started functioned as regulars in year 5 and weren't billed in the opening but were upgraded in the last year. Jada had many stories revolve around her in year 5 so she was definitely a major cast member. Terrence went unbilled for two whole seasons, so maybe he got tired of it and walked out. Plus his father is a famous ventriloquist who used to be on a lot of old shows so maybe he advised him to quit the show which looked like it was going to get cancelled and go get an education for real rather than play someone on TV who is pretending to go to college.
