We were not totally aware of what was happening at the time.

Welcome to watchmojo and today we're looking at TV actors who took legal action against their shows, the creators or the networks and studios that produced them.

911 Dunbar appeared in the first five seasons of this procedural series at as Michael Grant, the ex husband of Angela Bassett's Athena.

I want to tell him, Michael, the therapist said.

After going to Haiti with his fiance, it's revealed that Michael settled down in Florida.

In reality, Dunbar exited over the COVID 19 vaccine mandate.

Dunbar demanded a religious exception belonging to the Church of Universal Wisdom.

When Dunbar was denied, he sued 20th Century and Disney claiming his contract breached and he was owed roughly $1 million.

Dunbar not only cited religious discrimination, but racial misconduct as well.

It is risky and I don't know what's going to happen and there are no guarantees here.

While a judge called some claims into question, Dunbar's case moved forward.

A vaccine related lawsuit was bound to happen in Hollywood.

Although it's ironic that it stemmed from a show called 911.

Decades after winning an Oscar for Ordinary People, Timothy Hutton played Nathan Ford on the crime drama Leverage.

I will bring down everything you have ever touched.

And when I am done, I will hunt you down and I will kill you myself.

Where the initial series ran from 2008 to 2012, it was revived as Leverage Redemption in 2021.

While most of the original cast returned, the leading man was noticeably absent.

But you know, I was drunk most of the time, to be honest with you.

Before the revival was announced, Hutton was accused of sexually assaulting actress Sarah Johnston when she was a teenager and he was in his early 20s.

The same month Leverage Redemption debuted.

Hutton has said that he has also filed a complaint with the FBI alleging extortion.

The following year, Hutton sued production company Electric Entertainment, which resulted in a countersuit.

Hutton cited breach of contract while the producers argued he withheld information about a potential scandal.

Two years later, an undisclosed settlement was reached 8.

Modern Family became one of the most profitable shows on tv, largely thanks to the chemistry between its cast.

Here we have the skeptics, the dream squashers, the Pritchetts.

And here we have the dreamers, the artists, the visionaries.

The actors thus united as a family when they sued 20th Century Fox Television in 2012.

Heading into season four, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara filed a lawsuit as negotiations over their salaries came to a standstill.

Ed o' Neill wasn't part of the lawsuit since he was already making the most money, although the Pritchett patriarch supported his co stars.

After months of litigation, the five actors had their per episode fee raised by almost $100,000 each, along with an increase every season and residual perks.

Four of the show's younger cast members were also given a deserved pay bump.

I might be a simple man, but I do know one thing.

If a dog don't bark, okay, I can't listen to him anymore.

Do you want to go on an adventure with me?

Several young performers have played Dora Marquez, but only one took the long running children's show to court.

Caitlin Sanchez voiced the titular explorer in more than 30 episodes, which aired from 2008 to 2012.

In 2010, Nickelodeon and MTV Networks faced a $10 million lawsuit from Sanchez, who felt she had been pushed into signing an unfair contract.

Attorney John Balestriere, who represented Sanchez and her family, persuaded them to take a $500,000 settlement.

Sanchez's family ultimately felt cheated by Balestriere, whom they reportedly owed $200,000.

They also had to pay over $100,000 in taxes, among other fees.

The Sanchez's tried to overturn the settlement, but their request was denied.

Sanchez's days as Dora ended as she entered her early teens.

Dora is just a phenomenon that just keeps going and going, and

Nicolette Sheridan was Wisteria Lane's resident scene stealer for five seasons.

Edie joins the neighborhood's other spirits following an electrical accident.

As the complete and utter center of attention.

At the time, co star Teri Hatcher suggested that Sheridan was ready to leave.

Yet there were also reports of tension between Sheridan and creator Mark Cherry.

The plot thickened in 2010 when Sheridan accused Cherry of assault in a lawsuit against him and abc.

For me, when I spoke out of being the victim of assault and battery, I was absolutely vilified and I decided to take that legal route.

Sheridan claimed that she had been wrongfully terminated after bringing these accusations to the network.

At trial, Cherry argued that Sheridan's removal was due to budget and creative reasons.

With the decision being made before the alleged attack, the outcome was a mistrial.
