Amos Recalls Being Axed From 'West Wing'

[GreenPartyVoter]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Former "West Wing" actor John Amos says he was reading the newspaper and eating a breakfast burrito when he was told directors planned to kill off his character to "create a cliffhanger."

Amos, who played Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. Percy Fitzwallace, said there was no ceremony to end his five-year stint on the popular TV show.

Instead a director approached him and said, "'Hey John, how's the burrito? Oh, hey, did I tell you we're killing Fitzwallace?' It was just like that," Amos said in Saturday's editions of The (Nashville) Tennessean.

Amos was in Nashville to promote his foundation, which promotes arts education in public schools.
