How you doing? Good. And Brittany's not part of the show, but she thinks you're hot. Hey. Hey. Hey, what's happening? Well, man, before we go forward, we got to go backwards a little bit and talk ER here for a second. Yes. I'm really curious. I guess it's in 2008 that the producers slash writers of NBC decide, okay, we're probably done with your character here.

Was that a contractual thing, or is that something they tell you about beforehand?

Yeah, no, actually, I actually had a lot to do with that.

It was kind of a thing where I felt like it was time to go. Mm-hmm. And, actually, I actually had a lot to do with that.

It was kind of a thing where I felt like it was time to go.

You know what I mean?

I had done the character for a long time.

And, you know, it was just time to go.

So it wasn't like a thing where they went, okay, well, we're tired of Dr. Brad.

They actually said, I just felt like it was time to go, you know. That must have been a very difficult decision to Dr. Pratt. They asked me to stay. I just felt like it was time to go. That must have been a very difficult decision to make, because, I mean, from what we've heard as actors, I mean, you're always a little bit insecure that you're not going to get like a really meaty, juicy part to continue to play. And here you have one on one of the greatest shows in TV history and you're saying, you know what?

I'm just sort of done with it.

Well, yeah, well, you know, the thing is that's the business that we've chosen. You know what I mean? And it is very orthodox. You don't know what's coming up next, but that's the nature of the beast. You know what I mean? and got to be confident in yourself that you will again prevail and work again one day and do more great things. Is there a fine line between being too, you know, being on a show too long and being stereotyped or type cast rather and knowing when to leave?

Yeah, I think so. You know what I mean? You know, you don't. You know, you don't. type cast rather than or and knowing when to leave.

Yeah, I think so.
