Goldblum Quits Law & Order Show

Jeff Goldblum has quit his role on hit U.S. drama Law And Order: CRIMINAL INTENT because of the "uncertainty" of the show's future.

The actor has played Detective Zach Nichols on the series for the past two years, but he's now handed in his badge and walked away from the show.

Goldblum's representative tells Variety.com his exit is "due to the uncertainty" surrounding the series' future.

The ninth series' finale aired in the U.S. last month (Jul10) and it has not yet been decided whether there will be a 10th series due to low audience figures, reports the movie website.

Of course the ratings are low. They need Dónofrio and Erbes. They were so great. None of the new cast - even Goldblum - have any personality

I'm certain Mr. Goldblum is a terrific actor - however, he is not Law Order material. I tried to stay with the new cast but after 1 1/2 shows I couldn't.What was the purpose of the change? On the other Law & Orders I have not been happy with the cast changes but very quickly fell in love with the new cast members but this change was absolutely senseless!!

They should never have gotten rid of Detectives Goren and Eames. No wonder the ratings dropped!

It's a shame that Jeff Goldblum has walked away. He is such a fantastic actor and so articulate on his delivery. I will miss him. I love to watch his work.
