John Rhys-Davies starred as Professor Maximillian Arturo in the sci-fi series Sliders between 1995 and 2000. However, his character was eventually shot and killed after the writers and creators of the show were fed up with his disrespect. Rhys-Davies called the scripts to the show “incomprehensible gibberish” and would continually clash with the writers, calling them unintelligent and useless.

After he was killed off in season 3, he claimed it was because the writers “screwed up because they didn’t have the vision,” yet it seems that the writer envisioned killing him off for years.
