Actor Daniel Ezra Is Leaving Series Regular Role On ‘All American’ Ahead Of Season 7, Will Have Recurring Guest Spot

Daniel Ezra, who stars as Spencer James in the CW drama All American, will transition from a series regular to a recurring guest role starting in Season 7, according to recent announcements.

In a statement regarding his departure from the series regular role, Daniel Ezra expressed,

“After making the difficult decision to leave ‘All American,’ my sole focus became completing the journey of the most life-affirming character I’ve ever played in the manner he deserves. Thanks to Nkechi and the writers, I got my wish. Season 6 is ‘Spencer’s goodbye.’ I’ll miss him. I’ll miss our cast and crew. I hope it’s been as fun to watch him as it has been to play him.”

Daniel Ezra, 32, has been a pivotal part of All American since its inception, starring as Spencer James, a character whose journey from high school football star to NFL player has captivated audiences.
