There are many famous actors who are hard to work with, but at least they show up to the set for the duration of the project. After all, filmmakers are going to be reluctant to cast an actor with a reputation for ditching a series midway, thus leaving everybody high and dry. Unfortunately, that's a lesson Chevy Chase had to learn the hard way.

Early in his career, Chase became the first Saturday Night Live cast member to leave the hit sketch show (which he says he did to marry a woman who didn't want to move to New York, not for a film career). But after his disagreements with Community creator Dan Harmon, Chase walked away from the series for good in 2012 when its fourth season was still in production. Harmon has said that Chase also frequently left the set before episodes had wrapped, which isn't going to win you any brownie points with future directors.
