Default Actors that refuse to play their characters again?

I got one:

Jaleel White as Steve Urkel, in many interviews, he stated he will never play the Urkel character again since he hated it and when he goes on dates, girls wanted him to do the Urkel laugh and I do feel sorry for him since he wanted to be himself, I can't blame him.

Any others?

When she was still alive, Elizabeth Montgomery said she'd never do a Bewitched reunion movie or reprise Samantha. She said she wanted to move on, and any reprisal would never top what she'd already done with Bewitched/Samantha. I think she was right.

She is a very smart lady since she said that and I agree with her.

pretty safe bet Tom Hanks won't be doing a Bosom Buddies reunion

Family Ties is another show that will never have an in-character reunion, Michael Gross went on record in 1989 saying he hoped the Keatons would die in a plane crash

Another more recent of a "no reunion likely" is Six Feet Under. Who needs to see the reunion when the last five mins of the finale spilled everything about what's going to happen in their future

I don't think Tom Hanks would reprise his role as Uncle Ned from Family Ties, either.

I think that Gary Coleman would never want to reprise his Arnold Jackson character, b/c he hated anyone that said "Whatcha' talkin' bout, Willis?"

It was quite evident when he was on VH1's the Surreal Life when Vanilla Ice kicked it w/ Todd Bridges in one ep. and Vanilla Ice tried to piss off Coleman by getting him to say that catchphrase to Bridges.

After the way Dustin Diamond acted when he was on Celebrity Fit club 5 this year, I highly doubt that he would ever wanna play Screech again. Watch him on that show and you'll even hear him say he doesn't wanna play Screech again.

Irwin Allen always said no reunion movie for Lost In Space. A damn shame too.

didn't they have a mini-reunion on America's Funniest Home Videos in '97 or something like that?

but yeah, i think Bob Saget and John Stamos would both like to forget Full House.

That's odd, Mork and Mindy is what I remember Robin for the most. I never knew he used drugs.

Plus, Robin Williams was very good friends with John Belushi, and they supposedly did drugs together. When John Belushi died, I guess that was one of the things that made Robin face up to his own problem.
