The ensemble action has its benefits, but for some Sitcom stars, it may feel a little limiting. When you are one of the many actors competing for a short time, there should be times when your character becomes short, but occasionally, pushing the actors to their breaking point. It seems to have been at least part of the problem for the "Taxi" Starwear Effef Conave, who played aspirant actor Bobby Wheeler for the first three seasons of the classic sitcom.

"Taxi" was created by the same team that will eventually be Continue to make the mega-hit sith "Cheers", And it was followed by the main team of the fictional sun company in Manhattan through various trials of their working and personal life. Running from 1978 to 1982, The Show Also Featured a number of soon-to-be mega-stars, including tony danza as the wannabe boxer tony Banta, Judd Hirsch as Cynical Everyman Alex Reiger, Marilu Henner Ashner. Creative Single Mom Elaine Nardo, Christopher Lloyd As Drugged-Out Airhead Jim Ignatowski, and Danny Devito Asir Lecherous and Oriented Boss, Louis de Palma. After three seasons of "Taxi", however, Conavei bowed out of the series, returning to just another episode in Season 4.

While working on the series, he definitely had his challenges (as he handled the antiquity of Comedian co-starvista Andy Kaufman and his alter-ego Tony Clifton), it was really a boon for most of his career actors. Unlike some of his co-stars, however, Konaway has already tasted a little bit of that mega-cards from Kenny's playing in the 1978 Hit Grace. This also meant that he had higher expectations for his work. So when he constantly had to deal with the same kind of material in the show over and over, he decided to leave "Taxi" in 1981 in search of, hopefully, greener pastures.

While Lloyd and Devito had earlier dealt with the side roles in the best image of an Oscar "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", it was very different from playing the best friend of Johnon Travolta's character, Dani Zuko in "Fat", and maybe even more. After all, he admitted to the Toronto Torwell (through Times in Los Angeles) in 1989 that he was dissatisfied with the "taxi" scripts because he did not "want the road (Bobby) to represent the actors", relying on old stereotypes about their lack of intelligence and egoism. This, in turn, has led to leaving the show to continue his film career. As he explained to the exit:

"In" Taxi ", I have been doing the same scene for three years. I was undertaken. It is natural when there are seven people involved in half an hour show. "

It's hard to blame for being a little wrapped, especially when Total Non-Actors at the time as Tony Danza Finished to get more secret and better stories, but probably had a little more in the story. Conaway's drug addiction problems were quite well known, and even made an attitude of the real TV series "Famous Rehabilities with Dr. Drew" in 2008. About that time, former Taxi writer Sam Simon appeared on the Howard Stern Radio show and claims that the Konaway drug problem has much to do with his leaving the show. In the end, Conaway's career never blew himself up as many of his former co-stars, though he eventually used a significant role in the 1990s Babylon 5. Scientific series.

Conaway died in 2011 at the age of 60, and it is really a shame that this talented artist has never won the career he deserved. Leaving a "taxi" was probably not the wisest move, but then again, he joined the Zani series.
