He chose not to return. This video isn’t factual. They were all going to making appearances here and there. Nothing was guaranteed which is probably the real reason he stepped away. He has a plethora of things going on. They’ve strayed away from the books. They’re in Shandaland now.

@@leafydiva Or, he never made a cameo because his (contractually obligated) filming schedule and that of season 2 conflicted and wouldn't allow for him to. That said, it's perfectly all right for an actor to feel like acting is a job. And once you completed a role - even a "break out role - that job is over and so you keep moving/looking forward and not back. How many of us would go back to a job/company that we've moved on from?

He was very good in that role....kept the chambermaids on their toes with all that squirting around.

It would have made "series" sense for him to have been in S2 to interact a little and help his long standing best friend who was looking for a wife. The banter between the two of them would have been super and so on point, like the male version of what Daphne did.

His breakout role was in the 2016 remake of “ROOTS” - where he portrayed “Chicken George”, a huge role that led to the - 2018-2019 TV series “For The People” (CANCELLED after 2 seasons) and then - 2020 “Bridgerton”, another breakout role, but NOT his first. He didn’t want to tie himself down to another TV role, as he felt he paid his dues and preferred going from project to project, as movie stardom was what he was seeking and is currently achieving in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (2023)

Whether it adheres strictly to each book is HER prerogative. With the character of Daphne reappearing from time to time with their children, it's not at all without imagination to briefly see the Duke. It's not creating a 'false narrative' that in appreciation for what this professional opportunity gave Page, he'd be thrilled to do a cameo if asked to. This is what a tactful, gracious, and respectful actor does in honoring his humble beginnings.

Hum, while his statements are logical. I think they will be a professional misstep. You're only as good as your last role. And D&D was a box office flop, and Regé-Jean Page was barely in it! I don't see any upcoming roles on IMDB. Yes, moving to different projects avoids type cast, but staying in one role long enough to solidify your name is also important. Doing one season of a show and then running off to do other things can come off as disloyal. Add the fact Hollywood is focused on franchises casting agent might wonder will this guy stay around. Who cares if the character isn't featured in the books anymore, if they want you and will write for you the smart move would be to stay. Regé-Jean Page and Henry Cavill might regret walking away from Netflix in the end.

@krafka

Жыл бұрын

I think Page and Cavill are in two completely different boats. Also, Cavill already has multiple movies in various stage of production and acquired the rights to Warhammer, a passion project. Page doesn't seem to have anything lined up post-D&D. However, realistically, there wasn't anything for him to do beyond a glorified cameo in S2 - basically, set dressing like Daphne was in a hanful of scenes. At the same time, committing to participate could have significantly impinged on accepting other roles if the production schedules clashed. Now, if they were to do another "Bridgerton Stories" like they did with Queen Charlotte and he could have a good role, I could see him reconsidering, especially if he doesn't get cast in other roles in the near future.

Bridgerton is an entirely different TV show compare to other shows. The story moves on and focus on other characters, rather than all the main characters. Look what happen so Simone and Jonathan, they absence for almost half of the season three. Nobody cares it Simon would appear now and then. Rege is doing well himself with endorsements in Hollywood. It better than him stick around the show just for cameo.

Agree he cannot commit he's mentioned many time 1 tv usually never follows the books after a while they go off on there own being in a small role u can make a huge statement

His recent jobs - The Gray Man and D&D were so disappointing. So far, his best role has been Bridgerton. That role stretched his acting ability - he was great. Will always miss him.

It's possible that his future career ambitions are for movies and not series. He may also not want to be associated with romcoms, which studios aren't making a lot of these days. Plus, his Bridgerton fame focused a lot on his looks, which he may not want as he moves on. I'm sure he's aware that the limelight can be short lived and he is not in a position to take even a few weeks off to go in a direction that's not aligned with his future goals. People may have loved him in the role, but maybe this wasn't HIS dream job. Surely we can't begrudge someone following what he believes is best for him

It just would be so nice to see a cameo of him each season after the first but he's my pick for Bond, for sure. I really like him. He has an air about him that is so attractive, and I'm 71!!

Season 2 was not good. The female lead was unbearable for most of it and I actually liked the sister much better. So far, season 3 is not measuring up either. So far only Bridgerton 1 and Queen Charlotte have been exceptional.

We all knew after the 1st season, that HE WASNT COMING BACK! This isn’t new.

I think it was unfair that he kind of left them in the lurch with his wife having to explain that he’s off somewhere else. Is that what she’s going to have to say constantly or are they replacing him? Even if he only had small roles in the rest of the series couldn’t he fit the other acting projects in as well considering he wasn’t featured much? It is a series ,he’s supposed to be part of a family that’s featured in it. Hello it is called Bridgerton which everyone knows is the family! We didn’t see Daphne disappear because she’s no longer featured in it!

I think the season was never meant to go past 1 for their story. Apparently. With the books, every season is supposed to be a new romance. The writers should have let the fans know that. They can’t keep up with rewriting a completely new story for the characters that continues AND follows along with the other love stories.

He shouldn't be in subsequent seasons. Each book is about a different sibling. The Duke just happened to be the first book.

I liked bridgerton He definitely made it better

He would be an excellent Bond! He would have a long successful run as James Bond!

He can always model! He is FINE!!!

They could create a show like queen Charlotte for the duke and Daphne

There isn’t really a logical reason on why he left and he doesn’t have the explain it either. Without a reason on why he decided to leave, he has thought it trough and already made up his mind. I think it’s an awesome decision, because even tho it doesn’t make sense it feels like a good decision for him.

Even though we were given these explanations l was still holding out for a brief surprize appearance in season 2. Still holding out for that brief appearance for season 3.

His time there was the only reason I watched it & since he left I left!!….his character was phenomenal!!!😢😢😢

He left at the right time, he was at the top of his game .. so far, and he won’t become typecast.

While I would have loved to see him again ,I understand his reasoning for leaving. They would have had to develop his character more since the main conflict highlighted was dealt with, which was his relationship with his father.

He only signed a contract for 1 season. That's one reason why he took the role to begin with. Stop making things up.

Smart Move👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Love the Dukes and Miss Bridgerton

Brilliant Actor!! Bridgerton will not be the same without him. I will not watch it anymore.

Usually for new Tv shows the main actors signed for a 3 seasons contract and at the end of the third season they can renegociate their contract. I guess the production probably gave him a crapy 1 year contract re-negociable after the first season and because the season 1 had a huge success he probably asked for a better pay, which probably was dined by the production. The production want the black guy for cheap always underpay black actors. He was right to leave, slavery is over.

Truly outrageous click bait title. The entire piece was contrived, had nothing to do wiry his dissatisfaction, and could have run much shorter with how little content it actually contained. Not at all well done.

Noooooooooooooooooo! I so wanted to see him again! 😢

He seemed like he had an attitude problem. I didn’t want to watch the show because his interviews seemed arrogant to me.

This was my favorite season and he looked so handsome the perfect looking couple.

Your whole post is exactly what Rege had been telling everyone 2 years ago.

Great actor, he should go on to do well..👍❤️👍

I think this is good because instead of only ever seeing him in Bridgerton people now have the opportunity to search for whatever other project he’s in and follow his career

The title of this video is clickbait not nice I thought they say something interesting , bridgeton fans already knew he left on his own accord

They should make him the new Bond, James Bond right now already!

Loved him in Roots 2016.

Actually, I desperately download season 2 hoping to see him in action but was highly disappointed but now I know better, I won't bother downloading season 3 if it ever comes out... season 2 was a big turn off me... Eloise actually consoled me with her exceptional acting skills tho.

Season one was best of all 3 seasons so far

He is very clever to have taken this decision. A lot of actors are stucked into a role. I would love seeing him as James Bond.

He was in For the People before he was in Bridgerton.

He was also filming for the new D&D movie during the filming for Bridgerton S2.

He is the most gorgeous guy in the story. Really handsome

This is an incorrect narrative!

Felicidades Regi, eres una persona genial

I just saw him in Dungeons and Dragons.

As of yesterday he ran on time😅

What.... Shanda could've added him in somewhere and him still have other roles

Jeez I understand why he didn’t return but my dude, at least cameos for pall mall!

Gotta love the mic drop and split!

This is crap. It’s the way the books are written. The focus is on the next story. Had he stayed he wouldn’t get the a lot of air time. Way to stretch a false story.

But he hasn’t done anything after season 1. Guess him leaving had nothing to do with him wanting to break out and do other movies. Still love hos acting and miss him in Bridgerton. 🤦🏻‍♀️👍🎬⭐️

I actually thought Shonda cut him and Blacklisted him because we havent seen him in any other movies since, at least I've not heard of any.

I know each book moves on to the next family member romance. But it would be a nice treat to the fans to have them in a few scenes in the following seasons. Because in reality when people get married they don’t just disappear from everyone life

Oh no 😰I guess it’s time for me to move on too 😭. #EyeCandy

Daphne and Simon's story was told in Season 1 . He's sooo handsome and sexy. Just like Anthony's in season2 and Colin's in Season 3. Therefore it just makes sense that he won't appear again. I do enjoy the Bridgertons very much, thank you.

The Duke is the deal .

I think he owes it to the fans to make an appearance on Bridgerton. Daphne was obviously absent from season 3 also!

He would make an incredible James Bond or a villain in a James Bond like movie

Ah..nope!! A ton of actors have proven they can walk and chew gum at the same time (aka, take on multiple roles). He would have only been asked to make "appearances" meaning the time commitment wouldn't have been that demanding.

He only sign a contract for one year.

I can definitely appreciate him any hot blooded woman would dear god he's more than eye candy he's actually so perfect for the role be still my beating heart ❤️❤️

Good.

However it would have made sense for him to do a cameo when his best friend got married.

The series does need reappearances from him or someone else who is similar. His charisma hasn't been matched in any of the other series.

He'd make a fab vamp. Why not a role in the INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE series?

If you follow the series you would understand , moving on to a new Love…,
