why T.R Knight really left 'Grey's Anatomy

T.R. Knight finally reveals the reason he left "Grey’s Anatomy."

In Entertainment Weekly, he talks about the strange disappearance of George from the show.

In the first nine episodes of season 5, he was onscreen for 48 minutes.

This compared to 114 minutes for Sandra Oh.

Not that anyone was counting.

Rather than talk to creator Shonda Rhimes about it, he up and left. But his reasoning is interesting. Did it have to do with him being gay?

"My five-year experience proved to me that I could not trust any answer that was given [about George]," he explains. "And with respect, I'm going to leave it at that."

Knight does say that Rhimes was one of those who tried to discourage him from coming out after Isaiah Washington’s gay comments.

But Rhimes denies this in the EW piece.

Walking away from a $14-million contract is not without risk.

"From an outsider's perspective, I get the [impression that] 'He’s just a spoiled actor. … He doesn’t know how good he has it,'

" he says. "There are a lot of people who would like to be in my position. But in the end, I need to be fulfilled in my work."
