Overview
- Green recounted on the March 16 Pod Meets World episode that he was let go after a rehearsal and run-through on the NBC sitcom.
- He said he was new to sitcoms, struggled with comedic timing, and could not match creator Michael Jacobs’ precise line readings.
- Danielle Fishel and Rider Strong said Jacobs threatened or fired young performers who failed to deliver lines exactly as directed.
- Green called it the only firing of his roughly 40-year career and remembered asking whether he would still be paid for the day.
- Soon after the dismissal, he landed his decade-long role as David Silver on Beverly Hills, 90210.
