T.J. Miller’s departure from ‘Silicon Valley’
The fifth season of the TV show, ‘Silicon Valley’ premiered on March 25 and just like usual, ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ marked the show’s cast and creators. The publication interviewed Mike Judge and Alec Berger about what might lie ahead, and one of the topics was T.J. Miller’s exit in season four. Miller’s off screen departure was revealed to viewers and fans of the television show before his farewell. Nine months after his final farewell, Judge spoke about the struggles with Miller behind the scenes. Judge told ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ that there were many ways that one could tell that an actor didn’t want to be part of a television series anymore and that it was never funny to work with someone who wasn’t happy while on the set. Judge also said that the problems on the series were beyond Miller’s comprehension and that he was both unpredictable and unprofessional. He also had a habit of holding up production with his never ending issues and it was even reported that he would appear on set while under the influence. Miller would fall asleep between takes leaving the cast and crew confused as to what might be happening. In the end, Judge felt that the actor wasn’t working out in the series so he decided to let Miller go. After the comments, Miller came to his own defense and said that he agreed with the assessment but denied that he was drunk while working on the television show. T.J. Miller told ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ that he never gets drunk before he goes to work because it affects his comedy and he wasn’t the kind of guy who would blackout and bump into things on set. He explained that his problems arose because he was doing stand-up comedy all the time and slept for only three hours a day. Judge didn’t speak about the sexual assault allegations thrown at Miller and we have no further details about said allegations.
