Why It's Always Sunny icon nearly left cult comedy series
Howerton, who plays Dennis Reynolds, felt "boxed in" and desired to pursue other acting roles outside the long-running sitcom, now in its 17th season.
The comedy actor 'was aching to do other things', with a recent dramatic portrayal of Jim Balsillie in 2023 film Blackberry.
He suggested ending the series, but his co-stars, including creator Rob McElhenney, opted to continue.
McElhenney confirmed that Howerton has attempted to leave the show on multiple occasions but was always written back into the script.

Iconic 70s band leaves fans furious by canceling ENTIRE 2025 tour weeks before it starts saying ‘blame it on weather'
A LEGENDARY rock group has canceled their entire 2025 tour 'because of the weather'. The band, which has existed since 1966, have released a statement explaining that they were 'trusting their instincts' by not going forward with the 31-date tour, which was set to start in Bethel, New York on August 15th. 4 4 The Steve Miller Band – led by the titular star and completed by bass player Kenny Lewis, Joseph Wooton on keyboards and backing vocals, guitarist Jacob Peterson and drummer Ron Wikso – posted the photographed statement on all their social media and their website on Wednesday afternoon. The message read: 'Dear Steve Miller Band fans, You make music with your instincts, You live your life by your instincts. Always trust your instincts. 'The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates. 'The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you, our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. 'So… You can blame it on the tour is cancelled.' 'Don't know where, don't know when… We hope to see you all again,' the message concluded. 'Wishing you all Peace, Love and Happiness, Please take care of each other.' But fans weren't pleased with their reasoning, with one writing: 'Are you serious? I'm a big fan and got tickets for this tour , but next time please find a [better] excuse.' While another paraphrased their song, Abracadabra, to them, declaring: 'Abracadabra. My lame excuse will reach out and grab you.' 'Really weak. All this stuff going on all the more reason people need an escape for a few hours,' said a third.

While another claimed the real reason was poor ticket sales, sharing an alleged grab from the proposed date Northwell at Jones Beach Theater on August 24th showing large sections of the ampitheater going unsold. 'This really doesn't make sense. There is no imminent danger. Play indoors?' said another. 'Venues should just boycott this band and not book them in the future given this lame excuse!,' noted a sixth fan. While a seventh said:'Say goodbye to any future tour venues due to this lame, woke excuse. But then, this was probably the plan all along…wasn't it?' The band was set to perform through to November 8th, with their tour ending in Anaheim, California. 4 4
