Shailene is a famous actress and activist who got her big break when she played Amy in this show. The show made her instantly famous, but towards the end, Woodley stated how much she disliked the character she played.

“Towards the end, morally, the things that we were preaching on that show weren’t aligned with my own integrity. So that was a bit hard to show up to work every day knowing that we were going to project all of these themes to thousands, millions of young adults across the country, when in fact they weren’t what I would like to be sending out.”

Despite the show being highly successful, Mandy Patinkin left his role by the second season. The reason? He had a personal conflict with the role:

“The biggest public mistake I ever made was that I chose to do Criminal Minds in the first place…I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality.”

Lost ended up in flames, however before that, it was a widely popular show. Even so, there were some not satisfied with their role – such as Evangeline Lilly. Over the course of the six seasons, Lilly had this to share about her character, Kate:

“I always thought she was obnoxious. I mean, not at the beginning. At the beginning, she was kind of cool, and then as the show went on, I felt like she became more and more obnoxious.”

Ariana Grande is a mega-star by all standards, but started off in two of Nickelodeon’s shows: Victorious and Sam & Cat. However despite these roles making her beloved by many, she felt “frustrated” with her role due to the inability to relate to her character:

“It was a blessing and one of my childhood dreams came true. For a long time, I was attached to a character that was nothing like myself. It was a little frustrating.”
