    Welcome to the future where tech is getting worse all the time.

    Google was garbage so I used a chatbot for the very first time. I asked it why the actor Ken Howard left the tv series “Crossing Jordan”. He started out in the main cast but by season 4 (2005) he only appeared in one episode and then he had left the series. The chatbot produced total crap that seemed real.

    Ken Howard left the show Crossing Jordan in 2006 due to his starring role in the Broadway revival of the Pulitzer Prize winning play ‘1776’. Howard had already been appearing in theatre productions while working on the show, but the producers of Crossing Jordan allowed him to take part in the musical as long as he was able to make it back for shooting.

    However, once the show became a hit, it was difficult for the producers to accommodate his schedule. In addition, Howard was offered the chance to play the lead role in the film adaptation of ‘The White Countess’ which he also could not pass up. Ultimately, he had to make a difficult decision between continuing his role in Crossing Jordan and pursuing the new opportunities.

    • Howard appeared in the 1972 movie “1776”. But there was no ~2006 Broadway revival of “1776”. The revival happened in 2022. Howard died in 2016.

    • “The White Countess” came out in 2005 but Howard had nothing to do with it.
