Spencer James’ story is coming to an end on The CW’s #AllAmerican. #DanielEzra, who has played the character for the past six years, will not return as a series regular for Season 7, Deadline has confirmed. He is expected to make guest appearances. Deadline understands this was a creative decision made by Ezra and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll before embarking on Season 6. “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 six 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,” Ezra said in a statement to Deadline. Full story online. Link in bio.
