Actor Russell Tovey shocked fans of Being Human when he tweeted that he was leaving the show after three seasons playing Goerge the Werewolf.
Now Tovey has opened up to the UK’s SFX Magazine on why he decided to leave the series.
Tovey says that with the departure of Aidan Turner, he felt like it was a good time to leave the series on a high note.
“I know some people might be pissed off with me that I’ve left, but I want people to love George and understand that I want to go off and explore other things. It’s sad. I’d decided that I was going to go when I finished filming series three, but then it was so successful and I thought, ‘Should I really be leaving?’ But I am. For me three is the magic number. It’s always in my head. I’d done three series and I was ready to go,” he says.
