“Roseanne” alum Michael Fishman “was told” he would not be along for the ride of the upcoming “The Conners” season, but is taking the exit in stride, the 40-year-old actor confirmed in a statement to People.
“It has been my honor to play D.J. Conner,” said Fishman. “It’s every actors [sic] dream to be a series regular, especially on a groundbreaking show, where we tackle significant topics. The opportunity to do comedy and drama alongside iconic castmates, while reaching fans in meaningful ways has profoundly impacted my life.”
Fishman said he is “proud of the work” he’s done on both the ‘80s sitcom and its new chapter, which premiered on the same network, ABC, in 2018.
