Why Is Tom Cavanagh Leaving The Flash After Eight Years? Details

Tom Cavanagh had announced he is leaving The Flash a year ago. The actor had decided it was time to part ways, making clear that it was his very decision.

Cavanagh had told the Entertainment Weekly, “At a certain point I in the back of my head, ‘I’m going to do this for as long as I really feel challenged and it’s enjoyable and that I’m contributing to Flash’s storyline,”

“I thought after Sherloque was tracking down himself, the Reverse-Flash, even early on in that season. Yeah, this feels like I might be heading towards the exit now. I thought it was a perfect denouement. The Wells characters have been fun, but as we say, the show is called The Flash and it’ll be fine without me.”

The actor also said: “I feel like all of us on The Flash feel a certain sense of propriety toward the show and when Greg Berlanti calls, I don’t think there’s ever any hesitation,”

“I think one of the grand things about the show is the collaboration I’ve had with him. It’s not just a sense of, When this guy calls, he’s so prolific, I best go.’ It’s more a sense of, When this guy calls and he’s so wonderful, I can’t wait to go.’”

It’s not as easy as people think to do small stuff and have that project large. Not every actor can do that. Not many actors do.”
