10 Actors Who Demanded To Be Killed Off Popular TV Shows

10. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje - Lost

The show that had everyone questioning everything, Lost remains a strong talking point amongst TV lovers even though it wrapped up in 2010.

The island was full of memorable characters - Jack, Sawyer, that bird that yelled at Hurley that one time - but few had as big an impact in such a short space of time than Mr. Eko.

Portrayed by British actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Eko was a Nigerian former drug lord turned priest who ended up stuck on the island after Flight 815 went down. The strong and silent type, Eko became a firm favourite as he was the one most comfortable with life on the island.

The irony of that statement is that, in real life, Akinnuoye-Agbaje was far from content.

The actor had moved out to Hawaii to film the show, but really didn't like being there. He wanted to move home to London, and so asked for his character to be removed from the show.

Producers Damon Lindeloff and Carlton Cuse gave in to his demands for the character to receive a tragic death, having him brutally murdered by the smoke monster.

Christ, tell us how you really feel about him leaving.
