The Veronica Mars vet, whose final episode will air on Jan. 30, went on to say, “I’m going to take some private time with my wife & kids, as I am most concerned for their well-being… I have 3 final episodes to film, and because they are my last, I will be giving it everything I have.”

I’m so sorry. It breaks my heart to say this, but I was just let go from Y&R. My last day on set is this Thursday. — Michael Muhney (@michaelmuhney) December 17, 2013
