Rockmond Dunbar Leaves Fox's "9-1-1" Over Vaccine Mandate

Do you all watch the series, "9-1-1" on Fox? There is always some action going on the show that stars Angela Bassett and others. Rockmond Dunbar who starred as Angela's ex-husband had a pretty pivotal role on the show, being one of the original cast members. However, if you've seen the episode this week, Rockmond's character, Michael Grant, has decided to follow his heart and lover to Haiti to help people. Basically, that was a way for him to be written off the show. But why? According to TMZ, it was over the vaccine mandate that was in place for the production studios. Disney TV Studios 20th Television, the show's production company, requires all actors to be COVID-19 vaccinated. Rockmond said he applied for "religious and medical accommodations pursuant to the law and unfortunately was denied by my employer." He said that part of his life is intimate and personal and plans to keep it that way. Will you miss his character?
