T.R. Knight played Dr. George O’Malley on the ABC show Grey’s Anatomy. After five seasons on the show, Knight was let go and his character killed for what he described as being a “breakdown of communication” with show creator Shonda Rhimes.

Knight claims that he was forced out after he had come out as gay, yet Rhimes flat-out denies these accusations. However, it’s not like he his character received a clean death either, his O’Malley was severely disfigured after being in a bus accident only to die a rather terrible death not long after.
